Decent movie. Just watched it.
I think so far China is taking the right steps sealing off the city. That method will never fly in N America. There will be mass riots and protests. At least Chinese are used to that form of government and so far it seem like they citizens are complying.
Canada is well trained from the SARS experience, which is the same family of virus but different strain. Take this from a health professional.
All the anger and racism comes out when you get these types of outbreaks. The title of the OP article says it all. "Chinese virus". Lmao. As though a virus has a passport or some kind of race specific tropoism. When Mad Cow disease and CJD came out, no one called it the English brain disease. Or American/White man hamburger illness with the E coli outbreak.
Unless you live in a bunker or stop all trade, make your crap iPhone yourselves, global spread of infectious diseases will be more common in the future. This needs to be tackled globally. Destruction of forests, contacts with wild animals or eating exotic bush meat etc, air travel, are all problems to that need to be dealt with.
