SARS: The 13th Province?!
[quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="Arnie"][quote name="creativepig"]The other week I watched Mike Weir rock the United States (effectively making it the <I>eleventh province</I>) [/quote] Canada has 12 provinces? I never knew that![/quote] I'm as confused as you are! Now. 12? Anyway, onto SARS and the jab you threw at Toronto there. As a near-death front-line bio-soldier in the war on this disease I'll admit I was scared. I was scared of SARS until people started laying these stats on us like the fact that 60,000+ people die annually from the flu in the US. Then there is also this thing called respiratory syncytial virus or RSV which kills like 18,000 people a year too. Now I'm wondering why the fuck I'm not getting a flu shot every year. The flu and RSV have a death toll more than 5x that of AIDS! Flu shots are the new condom! In my panic, 16 deaths in Canada from SARS didn't seem too bad anymore.[/quote]
