Assault (CAN) 1 Posted May 24, 2003 Great!, 4 new suspected cases of SARS in Toronto after 24 people have already died, just what we need too. Our economy was doing really well, now we get Mad Cow, SARS, and West Nile virus this summer. Just grand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tovarish 0 Posted May 24, 2003 I heard about the crazy bovine disease hitting Canada (i dont eat beef anymore anyway)but West Nile virus? Care to elaborate? It's a Mosquito borne disease that seems to signal it's arrival by leaving dead crows lying around, and they're finding crows  Quote[/b] ]Great!, 4 new suspected cases of SARS in Toronto after 24 people have already died, just what we need too.

Damn, it must suck living in the Toronto area right now, then again, if it keeps up it's just a matter of time before it spills over to Ottawa. I'm amazed it hasn't already, we had a SARS alert at the college some weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tovarish 0 Posted May 24, 2003 And where might i ask is this wonderful outbreak taking place  ? Amazingly enough I haven't been following all these amazing diseases wreaking havoc in my backyard, I figure it's pointless to make yourself paranoid about Killer Microbes from Mars, but this was in today's paper about West Nile: http://www.canoe.com/CNEWS/Canada/2003/05/23/94234-cp.html Quote[/b] ]The virus, which can be spread to people by infected mosquitoes, was blamed in the deaths of 17 people in Ontario last year. . . . Of those who become infected, about 80 per cent will show no symptoms, doctors say. Another 19 per cent will develop mild symptoms such as fever, headache and body aches. In about one per cent of cases, the virus can cause serious neurological disease such as encephalitis, which can lead to complications including paralysis. In about five to 10 per cent of these cases, it can cause death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FSPilot 0 Posted May 24, 2003 I remember a west nile virus panic in new jersey back when we used to live there (while ago, before i got ofp). everyone was panicking about a dead crow or other various bird. i even remember hearing a theory that saddam hussein had planted the west nile virus (after all, he was west of the nile , who else could it of been?).

Warin 0 Posted May 24, 2003 A bad picture, but: This little statue sits on the top of my computer, making sure that evil demons dont possess it. He also protects me from SARS. A sure sign that people are starting to accept the threat and risks of SARS and are dealign with the stress. I saw a T-Shirt the other day that said: IF YOU ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO READ THIS, YOU ALREADY HAVE SARS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
