<Meanwhile, health officials lift the quarantine and allow visits to the Kinsmen Place Lodge to resume and withhold the name of the second nursing home (most probably Kinsmen Retirement Centre in Delta, BC).>

Henry, that's a decision to leave sars wild and for survival of the fittest to be the mechanism to deal with the sars war.

It's absurd to say that people with sars bugs don't have sars, even if they have trivial symptoms. I suppose their point is that it's not severe acute respiratory problems so therefore it's not sars, which means severe acute respiratory syndrome. They are being verbally correct, but biologically incorrect. Nature doesn't respect words, it respects chemistry and physics.

So, I wonder why the disease is so mild in so many people, leading the doctors in Vancouver to conclude that there's no worry about this latest sars outbreak.
