Deaths in the US = 0. No deaths, despite vastly larger numbers of people coming from infected endemic regions to the US than to Canada.

Canada's public health system is typical socialist smoke and mirrors. Covered up by a typical deceitful liberal media.

The corrupt Ottawa health care ministry's bureaucratic response? Shoot the messenger. Denounce the WHO at exposing the failed Canadian health care system.

"The outbreak will be over when 20 days have elapsed with no new cases," said Sheela Basrur, Toronto's medical officer of health told the city council. "It's been about a week so far, at least, since we've had a new case in the community."

I wonder if they'll report any more cases even if they do show up. Seems highly unlikely.

This is my uniformed speculation: With the annoucement that SARS has now spread to the Philippines, this Asian country should give a better insight as to how quickly the disease is spreading within China. The Communist Chinese are not likely to give a accurate disclosure of how really bad things are in the "workers paridise". The Philippines would inform the world once things start getting out of hand.

Like China, the Philippines have pockets of advanced medical technology but the vast population does not have access to that technology. It is a largely rural nation with densely populated cities. The differences are: the Philippines are more likely to disclose information, rural areas are more modern and the islands and jungle slow the speed of contagion across the country.

Just a thought.

What I find interesting is that the Canadian govt now is blasting a global organization (WHO) when it comes down hard on them......yet wanted the US not to invade Iraq....and get UN approval to do so.

Seems like the Canuck response: "everyone (USA) must follow globalist groups......Canada is exempted when they are negative towards us"
