There's already a thread about this, but you have nothing to worry about.
Toronto is a big city with millions of people, it's not "all diseased". AFAIK everyone who's been infected either got it while in Asia or while being at the hospital while infected people were there. No one's gotten it from just being out in the public and they seem to have a good grasp on preventing it from spreading further at this point. |

once again...
the papers and news blow things a little out of proportion.. sure it is a really nasty thing, but it's not like the whole world is getting it, and QUICKLY.. all reported cases are easily traced back to the origonal case. they are taking all these measures to ensure it does NOT spread into an epidemic. Just like they would do with anything else. It's nothing out of the ordinary. If you look at the Toronto papers in the last day or two, they have moved away from headlining SARS... it's dying out now. there's nothting to worry about.

sorry about the sars!
wow! sorry that i got you peeepul all rambunktious! i was just reading up on it on a website and that's all i know of it.
how else do people learn about things?--news! i'd like to leave the party on a high note, not with a respritory disease. it's only my health and you really can't blame me for being concerned. --besides the fact that i will be bringing 4 people with me.-- DJ Tranzit, thanks for being so CALM in your response. kandeegirl2 should learn from you. i think she almost swallowed her pacifier when she read my thread! *breathe in....breathe out*....it's not that serious. hhc has been flowing hard thru my veins for over 7 years now, so it's not like i don't have enough passion for the music; it's just that i want nothing but a super positive experience from this, and no parting gifts P.S. WILL I NEED TO BRING MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE TO GET INTO CANADA? thanks! =) |

YES, they won't let you in without a birth certificate. Well, that's not always true...sometimes they don't check. But the Americans won't let you back into the country without it, so unless you want to be Canadian I would bring it.

Nothing is keeping me from hulla. And yes, bringing your birth certificate is a good idea, but if you have a drivers license and soc. security card, that will do too. I don't have my birth certificate so I've always used those two... if they ever REALLY get antsy about ID I'll use my military ID but you prolly don' thave one of those, unless you do, in which case use that too. </rambling>

All of this may seem like an overreaction to an illness that is not nearly as deadly as West Nile virus — SARS kills 3.7% of its victims, compared with West Nile's mortality rate of 6.7% last year — and evidently much less contagious than measles or even the flu. "It's the type of disease that seems to require a lot of direct close contact with somebody who's pretty sick," says Dr. Stephen Ostroff, deputy director of the National Center for Infectious Diseases at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta.

I heard on the news that SARS kills half of the people that it infects. But since when is the news credible...
