4/5/2003: SARS mask fashion

elSicomoro · 04-05-2003, 10:36 AM

On this side of the planet, Toronto has been hit particularly hard by the SARS outbreak. It appears to be lightening up, but not before 3 hospitals were closed, and 4 people were ordered into mandatory 10-day quarantine. The projected economic losses (from losing a big convention and other businesses losing money) are $10-20 million (roughly $7-14 mil US).

But there was such a run on masks that a factory that makes them had to run 24-hour operations.
