Check the news - it's already going away in Toronto.
"Check the news - it's already going away in Toronto."
It's going to take many weeks to establish that. Anyhow, from the National Post today:
But in the medical community, unease was evident.
Writing for the Canadian Medical Association Journal yesterday, two U.S. epidemiologists warned "the number of cases so far reported/observed is only the tip of the iceberg of the true actual number. It may be that there are 10 to 20 times as many cases or greater that have not been recognized or just missed."
The instructive point for Toronto's public health officials is not that there may be hundreds of unreported cases, but that it only takes one breach of Toronto's defenses to start an epidemic elsewhere in the country or the world, Dr. Watts said.
"Toronto is not just having its own little epidemic," he said.
"It may be true that they have it under control, but the problem with this disease is that it's a very easy one to lose control of.... That's what happened in China. They tried to put a good face on things, now no one trusts the government. What [Toronto's officials] have to remember is that one person started this whole thing."
