Well if you had family, or family visiting Hong kong, like me you would care....Thnxs for the concern

[04blackMAX]

no not really, u know more than 35,000 people every year in north america die from the flu!!..SARS is new, people just get so worked up over new shit, like how the made Toronto such a bad place to visit..lol what a joke, the chances of anyone dying from says is like 4%...u have more of a chance of drowning in your bathtub than dying from SARS!

Tons of ppl in our own country are suffering with it...all we need is someone to come here from Toronto or like Roland's family, actually in Hong Kong, then it would be a whole nother story...just cause it isn't here doesn't mean it doesn't effect us

the only reason its such a big deal is cus it was such a sudden outbreak... globally... anything that could/can/will kill people is a BIG deal... is good to make people imformed...


Rogers communications bought all of the unsold tickets to tonight blue jays game at the skydome and is reselling them for only a dollar!!

well i think that every news channel should also be talking to us about the flu..lol.....cause it kills alot more!!

[Zephyr]

well the flu we know how to control it, SARS on the other hand is new and most doctors are like "what the f--k!?" and doctors who treat the flu dont catch the flu as easy as they have catched SARS

True enough but whether u die or not is besides the point...the sickness u get with SARS is worse then any flu u cna probably imagine...

The war's over... the media needs something else to harp on.

The reason why it's a big deal is because it's so communicable. Glad I left the Far East a week after the new year.

I was reading on Canada.com and they said that the worst of Sars is over. As reports and incedences have stabilized. Even Vietnam has been taken off the high risk locations.

It's a deadly virus, I think overreaction is better than no reaction.

If I walk across the street and get hit by a car, an ambulance is gonna come pick me up and know exactly what to do with me...if I come down with a case of SARS..I could be shit outta luck...

But here in Calgary im not actually too worried..

What's the 4% chance of dying number coming from?

Is that once you've contracted the disease?

From being in contact with people who have it?

Is that if you live anywhere in the world, or if you live in Toronto or beijing?
