they've quarantined a whole hospital here due to sars. i wonder if this will end up putting taiwan back on the WHO list of places to avoid? it's been all over the news with some people rather angry at being quarantined. i've heard that some people had just been in the hospital for ten minutes(visiting someone) and are now stuck there. it sounds like maybe the way they closed the hospital wasn't the best way. i mean if they knew they were going to close it or might be why did they allow people to still come in? but still everyone should know by this time that you may have to be quarantined at some point. still it sounds like they are handling the situation here much better than the situation in toronto. up until this latest outbreak, it seemed like people here were just living their lives like normal, and most people aren't wearing masks(though the wearing of masks seems questionable anyway, as i've been told by students that most of the masks sold will not really protect you).
