Dr. Henry Niman is now posting on my SARS blog. He calls the recent Toronto outbreak "CARS":
>>After SARS comes CARS. It seems that Toronto has been struck with another epidemic. This time its CARS (Confusing Acute Respiratory Syndrome aka Conflicting Acute Respiratory Syndrome). It is a fatal disease very similar to SARS but requires a "confused" or "conflicted" statement by a physician, researcher, or elected official.
The "confused" part requires multiple PCR tests. If a patient tests positive repeatedly for SARS CoV, additional tests are run until "conflicting" results are obtained, followed by a confused or conflicted statement. See below for an example.
The treatment for CARS is a SARS epidemic (SARS clusters are no longer effective), which forces physicians, researchers, or government officials to reclassify CARS patients to SARS patients.<<

More evidence that Canadian health officials are downplaying the significance of clinical SARS cases. Now they're ordering repeated tests when positive tests come back, hoping for negatives so they can say the results are "conflicting."

Another by Dr. Niman:
>>The fatal Oshawa case is added to three fatal Rogue Valley cases in which the patient died and tests for the virus were positive "at least once". The Oshawa patient tested positive in 2 or 4 samples. Earlier
http://www.canoe.com/NewsStand/LondonFreePress/News/2003/06/... "The deaths have not been added to Canada's official SARS death toll, which remained at 30, but three of the four tested positive at least once for the coronavirus that's believed to cause SARS. "
Usually if 3/4 tested positive "at least once" then one or more has tested positive 2 or more times, yet they are still "under investigation" and have not been classified as SARS or SARS deaths.<<
