So which is it? Official Policy or a rumour? Can't be both.

Out of thanks, but this picture is hilarious.

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.

Well, we're not sure. Official policy is that we're not really supposed to know

What an exagerated statement. Get outa here!!!
Baked ham at Easter is my favorite holiday meal. Plus, you can do so many things with leftover baked ham.... ham and eggs for breakfast, fried ham for supper, ham sandwiches, fried rice with ham, ham caserole...
And lets not forget bacon! No more bacon? Screw that.

I'm sure this has been said already:
1) There is no proof that anyone got infected from contact with animals or by ingesting them.
2) Even if you ate meat from an infected animal, the virus is killed when you cook the meat.
3) If you eat uncooked pork, you have bigger things to worry about.
4) Spiral cut ham is probably the yummiest thing on earth and I will never give it up.
