I'd not be surprised to see them solve this by requiring all statements by nurses to the press be forbidden without a note from a doctor.

Yep... the Ontario Nurses Assn., when the SARS epidemic first hit Toronto, were up in arms because they did not have the proper respirator masks for the health care workers.

As with any infectious disease, especially in a hospital care setting, proper protective gear has proven to be very effective in the spread of contagious diseases. These doctors/administrators know that. Of course, when you're lax, and let your guard down, the contamination will spread like a fire.

Their socialized health care system just does not want to pay for the proper equipment for their employees, which is expensive.

We don't have the problem in the states because we use the right equipment, and we don't let our guard down with any infectious/contagious disease.

The Canadian health care system just as bad as a thrid world health-care system.
