SARS

It's crap like this that is causing our city so much economic turmoil. I watched CNN when this story first surfaced and I was sickened. The way they went on was like the deadly plague had arrived in the states. They even had some official on saying that Toronto should be put back on the WHO list. This is damaging to us, especially when it's not even proven that these people have SARS. First of all, it is extremely unlikely that these people have SARS. It is even more unlikely, almost impossible for these people to have gotten it "passing through" the airport. Another example of shitty media coverage.
