Mrs. DeltAlum is heading for Toronto in a couple of weeks. I have no concern and would go along if I could. The statistical chances of getting the desease are tiny.

There have been 24 deaths in Toronto due to SARS. I believe this was mentioned in an earlier post. More people die from the flu every year than will die from SARS. If SARS was really as bad an epidemic as people are making it out to be, trust me I would have gotten SARS myself. I ride the subway every day to and from work. That's some pretty close corners. I work in a building where an employees family member contracted SARS. My dad also worked in a building where more than 100 people were quarantined because of possible SARS connection. No one got it. These precautions are necessary if there is a suspected case of SARS, but it's no reason to live your life in fear and paranoia. I can guarantee that I am SARS free, and Toronto is just as safe as it always was. Yes, Toronto is not the only city in Canada. So if you're still afraid of Toronto, why not visit other beautiful places in Canada, because there are so many.

I have no plans to go to Canada. I have never been there, but I would like to go there one day. My sister loved Montreal, Quebec and Niagra Falls.

I wouldn't go to Toronto, but any other place seems ok. If I got nervous there always is surgical mask.

I go there at least once a week. I am less than a mile away from the Canadian border and 30 minutes from Vancouver, BC.

ITA...it may be safer now, but why put yourself in harm's way if you don't need to.

Using that logic, I should never travel to New York City because you never know when someone might fly a couple of planes into a building. I shouldn't go to Atlanta because you never know when someone might bomb a park I might be in. I shouldn't go to Colorado because you never know when a couple of kids might decide to go on a shooting spree...

In other words, don't let things like this make you stop living your life.
