Why are volunteers needed? You pay the government to take care of that stuff. Are you saying they are not up to the job.

. No new cases today you better look again....looks like someone is hiding something... Canada May Raise Number of SARS Cases Sharply Thu May 29, 2003 12:47 PM ET TORONTO (Reuters) - Toronto may raise its number of probable SARS cases to 60 or 70, from 12, as it reclassifies how it counts suspect cases in line with World Health Organization recommendations, one of the doctors leading the fight against the respiratory disease said on Thursday. "We're talking numbers up in the 60s, 70s," Dr. Donald Low, chief of microbiology at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, told Reuters. Toronto has reported just 12 probable cases of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, some of them old cases and some part of a new cluster that emerged last week. It was also examining more than 50 suspect cases. But under a WHO definition Toronto will now include patients with pneumonia where the cause cannot be adequately explained. The previous Health Canada recommendation on how to define SARS included only patients with a worsening respiratory disease. "Health Canada's definition is fine when you are looking back at an outbreak, but when you are in the middle of an outbreak, the WHO definition is more practical," Low said. reuters.com
