WHO has FINALLY removed Toronto (Canada) from the list of SARS-infected areas. And I'm all set to go out and enjoy this coming Victoria Day long weekend!

Sorry to hear that, but you are not talking about North York General or St. John's, are you? Or you might need to be quarantined:

A North York General patient who subsequently came down with SARS symptoms was then transferred to St. John's Rehabilitation Hospital, where five others — three patients, a 39-year-old health care worker and a 44-year-old visitor — were apparently infected.

That's prompted Ontario's health ministry to ask anyone who visited North York General between May 13 and 23 to put themselves in isolation, monitor themselves for SARS symptoms and contact Toronto public health.

Anyone who was in the hospital between April 22 and May 13 is also being asked to monitor themselves for symptoms and contact Toronto public health.

Quarantine has already been ordered for anyone who visited St. John's Rehabilitation Hospital between May 9 and 20. Anyone affected by the quarantine has been asked to contact Toronto public health.

it appears that this arm of the UN works as well as the security council.

clearly toronto was never close to clean and the warning (travel) should have never been lifted.

i wonder what the cost will be for those that chose to take WHO seriously. for some, it appears, the price will be their health or life.


sad.
