The most aggressive efforts I've seen anywhere to contain SARS are occurring in Toronto. More than 7,000 people there have been quarantined at home for 10 days at some point over the past month.
If Canadian health officials can't stop the spread of SARS (and it appears that they haven't) with these measures, there is no hope for the third world countries at all.
Every international flight is now a risk.

Apparently we have not been aggressive in following up on US people who've been to Toronto. The CDC is now checking into a Pennslyvania woman who attended that religious retreat in Toronto and may have SARS. All Americans who went there, or to that wake and funeral, should also be under quarantine.

The most aggressive efforts I've seen anywhere to contain SARS are occurring in Toronto IMO, the Canadians have dropped the ball...royally. At least one person from that religous sect was turned away from the ER 3 times and told he didn't have SARS. Even when he fit the criteria during an outbreak.
