One patient is from the Calgary area and the other northern Alberta.
Corriveau says out of respect for privacy the exact town the northern Alberta case will not be made public.
Great thinking. Let's watch out for the poor unsuspecting small town folk.
Question.
Which situation would you rather have:
A) TV crews and other media coming to your town to cover a news story, and the knowledge that someone nearby has a potentially dangerous sickness
or
B) A government keeping information about where someone is sick under wraps because they feel it's in the best interest of the public.
Am I wrong to think this is silly? Is privacy really the largest issue at hand here?

I don't see a problem. Both cases are described as mild.
The media is responsible for creating any panic we're seeing.
