Does anybody worry about being infected by SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) in MP? Specially the Chinese MP.
You know why, T-top. Because every chinese MPA is straight off the boat from China or Hong Kong. And every chinese MPA goes to their homeland every night. And since SARS is spreading there like wildfire any MPA here going back and forth from the Orient to the GTA will likely be infected. That's how SARS has spread in the GTA in the first place, through chinese MPs.WhOiSyOdAdDy? said:Why especially the chinese mp's??
Was he ever ?Latecomer : ...Oil Please. Is he still with us?
Point taken but what about kissing? Maybe, I overstated my case but I still think that some risk remains. A lot of the less reputable MPs use illegal immigrants who may not be getting the medical attention they require. The risk is probably low but why take an unnecessary risk when other options are available?Squatting Tiger said:Yes, SARS is most likely transmitted through the air, but that is misleading. From what I hear you need an infected person to cough or sneeze right in your face to have a chance to get infected.
Well, this has nothing to do with SARS but with hygiene and personal health when hobbying. Be careful with who you kiss, what you kiss and with what you put into where. Just imagine to yourself what she's been doing prior to serving you. If you are into DFK and DATY, then SARS is not the only thing you should worry about. As always, just be careful and street smart.LateComer said:what about kissing?
But wouldn't it make sense that if you are avoiding Asians...and you are Asian, that they would want to avoid you as well??? They and other Parlours may think the same about you? Would that make all Asian doctors off limits? All Asian food preparers? etc.?submissivedave said:Honestly, although I am Asian, I am currently avoiding Asian places. I was at Pacific Mall only because my mom wanted to go.
Until everything gets fixed ... I am staying home.

We do seem to grab hold of a premise that if something originates in a particular part of the world, that somehow if we avoid those characteristics...we are safe?? There is no safety net. Non-Asians have, do and will travel to Asia all the time. They come back and yes, may carry this with them. Who knows? I'm just mystified at how avoiding certain MPAs cuts down the risk when anyone who's come in contact with anyone of various colours or nationalities whose visited Asia recently is suspect. And now that it's spread to the US, Canada and other countries...can you now suspect anyone from these other countries?
Hmmm, I say life goes on...and when it stops...it doesn't. Can't worry about what there is no control over...and there is no way to control, or even minimize this.

These facts are like the ones others throw around in the lounge. Please see http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/sars/faq.htm and http://www.who.int/csr/sars/sarsfaq/en/wooly110 said:As an update to SARS - the diease control centre in Hong Kong has found the strain that causes SARS.

I thought that you once said that you never took drugs. Or was that that you have not taken any for 10 years? That is after I said that you looked the part at a party.pool said:
