Canadian train quarantine: System worked well, except that person who died was 43, not 86, not mid-60s
The train finally arrived in Toronto, some passengers were flaunting free booze as they disembarked while others complained there was no free breakfast (is that a good combination for people stuck on a train an additional 11 hours?), and health-types have proclaimed the great train quarantine of 2008 a success in public health emergency preparedness.

Except for some errant communications bout the female who died.
She was initially identified Friday as in her 60s, by Saturday she was 86, and today, authorities said she was a 43-year-old from South Africa.
Don't barf in public; it's against the law
City council in Windsor, Ontario (Canada) wants to make it illegal to vomit in public in an attempt to control late-night rowdiness.
Council was also set to discuss a mandatory 2 a.m. closing-time for hotdog vendors.
Apparently that's to keep munchie-driven zombies from roaming the streets.
Patrick Lacey, 25, said,
"What are they really going to do about vomiting in public? … you can't stop someone from throwing up. Throwing up in public is embarrassing enough as it is; you don't need to get arrested."
I can't wait for the next norovirus outbreak to hit Windsor.
33 Salmonella cases at Ontario Pita Pit
The London Free Press reports that 33 people are now reporting symptoms of Salmonella believed linked to the Pita Pit at the University of Western Ontario Community Centre.
Dr. Bryna Warshawsky, associate medical officer of health with the Middlesex-London health unit, said 15 of the salmonella cases have been lab-confirmed.
The health unit has inspected the restaurant twice since the issue first surfaced, said Warshawsky, and deemed it safe to operate. The task now is to determine if the outlet received contaminated food product, or if something happened there.
