Anyone else following this Sudden Onset Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak?
OK, when was the last time that anyone heard of the quarantines that they are putting out for this for any other contagious disease? City of Toronto has advised that anyone who VISITED certain hospitals in the city to go home and stay put for 10 days. The Ontario health ministry applied to Health Canada to get the bug listed as a certain "type" of infection so that they can involuntarily commit people to quarantine. I have also read national travel advisorys which recommend totally against visiting Hong Kong. They also announced today that the airports in Vancouver and Toronto will be starting health inspections to all passengers leaving for overseas destinations. They haven't figured out exactly how they will do it yet but expect to announce in the next day or so.
So...what are they not telling us?
With these types of warnings and precautions I'm pretty sure that there is a MAJOR freak-out session going on at the CDC.
So, is this the next Black Death? Is this some genetically engineered super bug? Is this the ultimate in bio warfare?
What's going on in your corner of the world? What are you hearing?
