Toronto has just reported the 14th death to SARS. To date, 182 people have died worldwide. The new Chinese President has asked the health authorities to tell the truth and tell us how bad it really is. If they've been hiding information, the stats could be higher.

The woman who just died in Toronto was 99 but they're saying now that young people could be at risk, too.

Toronto is suffering because of this mysterious syndrome. Restaurants are laying people off because nobody wants to go out, Hewlett Packard had to put all their employees into quarantine because one jerk who was exposed decided to go to work. It's crazy!

I know I'm living cheque to cheque right now and fear getting a symptom that would make me stay home. People are trying to get the government to allow people in quarantine to receive Employment Insurance benefits. When is it going to end?

People travel so much and come into contact with so many people, I can't see how they can stem the tide.
