Are you kidding me? The Walkerton tragedy took place because fuck wads did not adhere to our own laws on how to clean the water. And that was e coli, not influenza.

The people ignoring the problem were the people supposed to be cleaning the water. If somebody in a hospital here noticed somebody sick, and didn't treat them, then sent them home, then there would some kind of logical link between the two situations. The swine flu will be contained if health staff, and people just do what is right, and in their manual, not by pressing the panic button.

Edit: you may want to read up on walkerton about the systemic failures in that town. http://www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca/english/about/pubs/walkerton/part1/

I'm going to be honest, as a transit driver, I'm quite concerned about this. It can spread fast. And Diginut is right, ppl are disgusting, the dont cover their mouths when they cough, and I'm willing to bet they don't wash all to often.

I don't know what MT's policy is on facemasks is, but if this continues to spread, I will consider it. I already carry hand sanitizer with me.

I am quite familiar with walkerton, I actually did a day long case study IN walkerton on the whole crisis last year... but thanks for the link anyways

I realize the parallels are not identical. I'm simply talking about ignoring a problem that seems irrelevant at first that ends up being huge. If the public were not made aware of this, in other words, if health officials knew people were getting this when they were travelling to Mexico and neglected to inform anyone about it because they didn't want to "overreact", and then there was a massive outbreak, I bet you wouldn't be on their side then.

There is absolutely no harm in being cautious when you're talking about a global flu virus. Have you ACTUALLY been PERSONALLY affected by any of this?

I feel the same way, particularly on the Spadina streetcar. Anyone who's taken that at 4-7pm knows what I'm talking about.
