ALERT--SARS, looks like it is much worse than they wanted the general public, worldwide, to know. We have come to a point in time when they just can't keep on telling bald-faced-lies... TORONTO (Reuters) - Concern about SARS shut down a Toronto-area high school on Wednesday, sending staff and students into quarantine and raising fears the virus may have spread from hospitals to the broader community. More than 6,400 people, including 2,000 from the school, are now in quarantine in greater Toronto after Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome resurfaced six days ago. Before then, Toronto had thought it had beaten the disease -- no new cases were reported from mid-April to mid-May. Health officials said a student at the school, located just north of Toronto, appeared to have symptoms of SARS, and that prompted the quarantine call. One of the student's parents worked at Toronto's North York General Hospital, epicenter of the latest outbreak. "The risk of getting SARS in this kind of setting (a school) is very low," said Dr. Murray McQuigge, a physician in the region where the high school is located. "We are not aware of any other student in this school who is symptomatic right now." The Toronto area is the only place outside Asia where people have died of SARS. There have been 27 deaths around Toronto and there are 12 probable cases now. Doctors say six patients are in critical condition and they are monitoring about 30 more people for infection. "In retrospect, we think we let our guard down too early," said Dr. Donald Low, chief of microbiology at Mount Sinai Hospital, one of the leaders in Toronto's fight against SARS. Doctors think the virus lingered in hospital wards for weeks and infected nurses, patients and visitors after the authorities eased rules on wearing masks and gloves.
