I just got back from visiting my Grandad at the hospital. It appears that the Hospital he is staying in now has 2 reported cases of SARS. When me and my sister showed up, we were tol we weren't allowed to see him because "only the wife and sons were allowed in". I explained to them that I had flown in from Ottawa to visit him, my sister explained that she hadn't seen him in a month. Finally they let us in, one at a time, and only after we doned surgical masks and had our temperture taken, as well as filled out a form about our recent travels (ie have we gone to Hong Kong). It is really eerie walking around a Hospital that is normally busy, and having nobody around. It's scary really, how much this is affecting the daily routine around here. The death toll in Toronto is up to 13, with more than 230 cases being reported. I just hope a solution can be found soon.
