Okay, let me get this straight:

1. Canada's leadership says it won't hand over Saddam, if he's in their custody

2. Canadian PM (allegedly) golfs with Clinton (slap in the face to Bush)

3. SARS

Gee, I can't wait to go to Canada.

Instead of warning how about forbidding

"To minimize the possibility of infection, you may wish to avoid close contact with large numbers of people as much as possible. CDC does not recommend the routine use of masks or other personal protective equipment while in public areas."

OK. Let me get this straight.

I am to avoid large numbers of people, but if I do so, I am not to wear a mask, gloves or any personla protective equipment?

Is this "throw-protections-to-the-winds" concept for my protection in public or to prevent the panic of the public?
