SARS seems to be a very difficult bug to contain. Drugs to fight bacteria are apparently of little use. Just called my friend in Taiwan last night and the disease is serious over there. Respirators are a necessary piece of equipment to fight this disease. In my opinion, the above article might shed some light on companies that produce equipment that will help battle this disease.

Antibiotics are useless against a virus. When you child has a sore throat and the strep test comes back negative, it is most likely a virus. The doctor give antibiotics anyway mostly just to appease the parent.

I am not surprise by the Canadian situation. The Chinese have a lot of contact with Canada. They also have a lot of contact through Mazatlan, Mexico. In my opinion, Mexico probably will be facing a SARS outbreak (if not already) in the Mazatlan area. Here's a link to the Toronto SARS travel warning you were reading:

Tommy Thompson said the other day that 3,000 additional ventilators have been ordered and there are approximately 100,000 installed in this country. Approximately 80% of those are in-use during a normal flu season.
