This doesn’t sound good. Have we raised out threat level yet?

Wonder if it was from eating some of that wonderful, “gourmet” train food?

The first place I'd want to be is off that train. Quarantine me by myself, or with just my family.

The CBC is saying:

Police said as many as 10 people were ill with flu-like symptoms when the train made its regular morning stop in Foleyet.

The illnesses appeared to be contained to two train cars.

If it was bird flu, it would probably have been contracted by the dead person before getting on the train. So the question might be, are the other sick people traveling together with that person, or did they pick up something on the train?

If it was the latter, then food poisoning seems more likely to me. How long does it take to travel across Canada by train? Three days? Four?

Dr. Michael Gardam, infectious diseases expert, says they have no information that the death is actually connected with the illnesses of the other persons.

Two cars only? How many cars were there total? If it was food poisoning it would be more widespread than 2 cars.
