SARS hits home
I spoke too soon. There is now a breaking local story about a 2 year-old in Ramsey County (where I live) who has been diagnosed with SARS. There are few details known so far, as there is a press conference scheduled in 10 minutes to release more details. It is being reported that the child was in Toronto recently.
I mentioned this to Jane on the phone, and she said: "I hope the kid doesn't go to Linus' daycare."
I hadn't thought of that. The line between paranoia and justified concern can get blurry sometimes. Sure, Ramsey County has a lot of people in it, so the odds of my son or other people I care about being exposed to this particular child are quite low.
Low odds, yes. But that 2 year-old hasn't just been living in an isolation chamber.
