Because our progressives value equality and don't want to discriminate. Mayor Helps tweeted her disgust the other day over a G&M article that advocated a travel advisory.

If our travel bug  mayor doesn’t believe in a travel advisory maybe she could go for an extended visit and help China out of this mess . See where the government has it wrong . Put her Lisa Helps spin on it .A year or two should be long enough.

People still ignoring the facts on this one ... if you have a complicated immune system, then you are just as likely to die from the flu. 

 

This is not the black plague that some are making it out too be.

Well the flu certainly has a higher recovery rate than this virus has so far. More confirmed case have died than recovered so far

Right but there are 7783 cases and only 133 recovered. 170 deaths, so far.

well it's much too new to come to that conclusion.  there has not been enough time to count the recovery vs.death. also don't forget that mild cases will never be reported.

If the mortality rate is 2%, the recovery rate is 98%. 

[Bernard]

We do not know what the mortality rate is yet.  It is a surprisingly difficult calculation to make for a host of reasons.   It is way to early to talk about morality rates.  That said, something not quite as bad as SARS is likely

If someone has not died, but has not recovered, what are they?  Still sick

sars killed people that were already in canadian hospitals. we are not going to let that happen again.

 

one benefit of the virus being carried here by travelers is that travelers themselves are likely to be in decent health thus they can travel.

 

 

Canada's first coronavirus patient discharged from Toronto hospital

https://www.cbc.ca/n...tient-1.5447251

 

 

 

The man was being treated at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre after arriving on a flight from China last week.

 

"Over the course of the week, his status continued to improve to the point where he no longer required in-patient care," said the hospital in a statement.

 

The patient's wife also has a confirmed case of the novel virus, though she has been at their home in self-isolation. Public health officials said yesterday that she is "doing well" and hasn't shown symptoms of infection.

 

 

 

australia has also cleared and discharged some patients.  recall from my above post that australia let none of their sars patients die.

Apparently this thing goes in phases. Phase one is pretty minor and you feel cured. Then you get pneumonia and die later on.
