Re: SARS: The 13th Province?!
[quote name="Ray, of Light"][quote name="Chairman Mao"]I am confident they have it under control in Toronto, but I'm bothered by the Canadian authorities balking at the WHO advisory. Shades of the initial PRC reaction, more interested in commerce than public health. Better safe than sorry, no? [/quote]The feeling is that Toronto has been unfairly penalized for a swift, visible response which reduced spreading at the cost of making things look worse than they really are. "Better safe than sorry" is not an appropriate standard, and comparing Toronto's protestations to the actions of Mainland "oops, lied again" China is beneath you. Unless you're Chinese! Haha! Also, that 5% figure appears suspect: http://www.politechbot.com/p-04669.html Ray![/quote]
