We're having a little SARS scare in the next county over..Ontario, New York in the City of Canandaigua.

Apparently, someone that works in a bar/restaurant had gone to Toronto and was sick when he returned home.

Our local radio station is having a ball with it. Someone called in, said he was in Canandaigua. Said something big must be going on. There were 4 police cars at the donut shop.

Folks just went on and on. Sonneberg gardens would be used for mass burials etc, etc.. They hoped it could be stopped at the Genesee River.

While this sounds awful, it is just being way overblown at this point and people are trying not to over react. They said all the TV stations were in Canandaigua looking for a story.

The health Dept is watching the guy and they said he had a cold BEFORE he went to Toronto. We're being COOL in NY. Yes, we care!!

Some Panic Peddlers in the media (especially TeeVee) are on this story for one reason: ratings. Their careers live and die by those numbers.
