I've been wondering about Toronto too. It's very different from Hong Kong.

Also, I wonder about the ethnicity of the Toronto victims.

The disease seems to be having a lot of trouble getting past Singapore, China/Hong Kong/Taiwan and a bit of Vietnam.

Why?

What the heck is it about China which results in not just infections, but deaths? Are they sharing chop sticks or rice bowls? Something odd is going on. Maybe Chinese lack sickle cells [which work against malaria] or some such cunning genetic modification which is protecting most other people from the disease.

Exactly who has died in Toronto? Mostly aged over 70, but what else do they have in common?
