I personally think that is blown way out of proportion.... come on close to 4 mil in the Toronto area and yet how many people have gotten it or died? More people are killed by bee stings each summer here in Toronto. In fact I love this hysteria.... super cheap specials for hotels, Jays tickets, meals.... there's no major crowds in Chinatown, so great foods always there and the staff is happy for your business
Personally I'm more worried about West Nile Virus
