Train show in Toronto

[Anonymous]

I'll not be going to the convention, it's not worth the expenditure to me (I'm working during most of it, so I couldn't take advantage of much). I'll be hitting the Train show next weekend for sure, got a lot of shopping to do.

The only thing stopping from going to the train show is the same thing that's stopping me from going to the Star Trek convention that on right now, I can't afford to go... Otherwsie I'd be there.

Lets stop all of this BULL!!!
SARS is a problem in Canada!!! I think that it's more important to possibly save a few lives than look at a bunch of toy trains running around a track!!!!! grow up and cut the crap about 911 and pointing fingers at each others countries. Toronto should still be a city, not to be visited. Don't risk the possibly of spreading a fatal disease to watch a few trains or catch a theatre show for a discount price!!!!! Don't be so cheap!!!! Toronto and the rest of the world will bounce back from this, with common sense.

Danstrain: There hasn't been a new case in weeks, even if there was, it ONLY affected people who had been to certain hospitals. There were no documented cases of SARS that were transmitted outsie of the 4 affected hospitals (None of which are anywhere near the trainshow location, Which is on the Mississauga border, the other end of a very large city).

Heck, apart from the papers, very few Torontonians even noticed it, it's not an epidemic, frankly it's not much more dangerous than the West Nile virus, which most of North America deals with every summer, and Traffic is more dangerous. In a city of 2.5 million, we had a few hundred infections, all tied to 2 index patients, and 58 deaths, a tragedy, yes, a danger, not anymore, and not if you don't interact with the health system, which is where every single Canadian infection occurred.

Go to the Train Show, and stick around for the Concert For Toronto if you can, it's the only place you'll see the Stones, AC/DC, The Who and Rush on the same stage. Don't let some scaremongering dissuade you from it.
