Did Toronto learn from its experience with SARS-1 in 2002, or was it a panic with Covid-19 like the rest of the world?
(Toronto hospitals got hammered by SARS-1 in 2002, with newspapers printing panic stories, just like the US is doing now.)
- ToFundorNot 7y agoIt was the panic from the rest of the world, at the beginning of March it was business as usual. It became real when Italy locked down its people. During SARS-1, I was in high school, and there was no major panic outside of downtown. I don't know about internally, so perhaps the hospitals were better prepared because of it this time.
