>>If SARS were to move at some moment explosively out of Toronto or to start escalating in India for instance i think WHO has the power to request that all airflights in and out of epidemic areas and their borders be closed but the country must fulfill the request. If a breakout epidemic in Canada occured U.S. could quarantine Canada, close borders, so to speak; but you can imagine the politics in that one--whew. << yeah, maybe theorically. In reality, will WHO do it? I doubt deeply. We are living a political world, everything is saturated with politics. And WHO acts like one too. You can say so because you are NOT working for WHO.
