Your comments were very logical until this one. <<I would vouch for Toronto as a safe place, as less than 1 percent of people have SARS, and you have just as much chance of catching SARS in Toronto as catching Aids in Chicago, or the Bubonic Plague in Boston. >> This comment rates right up there with the one you rightly criticized. First, it BETTER be less than 1% of the population with Sars--anywhere close to 1 in 100 would be a major epidemic with thousands of deaths likely. Secondly your remark about the likelihood of catching SARS relative to Aids or plague is just plain silly. AIDS is transmitted through specific risky behaviors, and there has not been a plague epidemic in a very long time. THe evidence is clear that SARS can be highly contagious without physical contact. Your dismissal of the potential danger is sophomoric. I for one had my plane ticket to Toronto and would have come to the show, even wearing a mask, if things did not get worse than they are now. But I would not expect Canadians or anyone else to come to the U.S. if they felt at risk, and you should not expect anything different.
