1. they will be everywhere.....

Transmission happens before symptoms appear. Planes will be full of sick people.

This is going to a nightmare before it passes.

2. They are better prepared than TO was for SARS. Vibes to everyone, everywhere.

3. One of my boys is in Montreal right now. Going to Japan in late spring. Feeling uneasy.

4. My brother is in Japan. I warned him about the cases there and he said

Japan was really serious about stopping spreading of illnesses. He had confidence in the system. Is your son at McGill?

5. And since it's a few months away, maybe things will be more under control by then.

7. I'm expecting it to hit Vancouver next.

We have a large Chinese Canadian population in the lower mainland.

8. Anyone who gets on an airplane is at risk as they are virus factories.

It will soon jump from people coming back from that part of China to others. People are aware and the test is really quick. I think richer countries have the ability to shut down an outbreak. I worry if it got to africa or south america. So far they have no cases. Crossing my fingers it doesn't happen there.
