Yes, this is not good, not good at all

Just read today's WHO update.

\r\n\r\n

We're overdue for a "flu" outbreak... this could be it.

\r\n\r\n

The really bad news is that apparently the people in Toronto made it to their house before they got sick. Potentially, all the people they were in contact with, from passersby at the airport, transportation (bus, taxi), and, depending on how long they've been back in the country, any oother people they may have contacted since then.

\r\n\r\n

Even more disturbingly, it's also been reported in British Columbia.

\r\n\r\n

The [link|http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2003/03/15/pneumonia030315|news story on the CBC website] also mentions that the number of health care workers in Hong Kong who got infected from the US businessman on his arrival from Vietnam has now risen to over 50. It looks like this disease is highly contagious.

Methinks the hypothesis could not be tested. - (Ashton) - (5) - March 16, 2003, 07:22:33 AM EST
