The HullaBoard - View Single Post - WHO takes Toronto off Sars warning list

It was taken out of proportion but it's better to be safe. We really had no idea of how much exposure was required for infection and the sort.
China has been fudging numbers and the WHO was really really panicing as they just weren't ready to handle this. It also hit us during a pretty bad flu season so it scared people.
The local health people didn't make a huge effort until the warning when everything was stepped up a notch to ensure that we were handling the problems the best we could.
