Again, no panic, just vigilance and no needless exposure factors. Why is that worthy of derision?

'cause I think anybody with half a functioning brain *already* KNOWS via common-sense what things *to do* and also what things/activities NOT to do AND where to stay away from for awhile!

LOL!!! You're making this assumption with an American population which uses Dr. Phil and Oprah for medical advice, thinks "Jackass" is a "cool" show, and believes at least 50% of what Peter Jennings says would "KNOW via common-sense what things 'to do' and also what things/activities NOT to do" etc....
You have more faith than I do.

I know you did not post that with a straight face after reading about the taxi driver. People will and do try to continue doing what they feel they have to do. This guy took medication to mask his fever so he could continue working while in a small country in the middle of a SARS outbreak. You think truckers in Canada are above that? Come on.
