It may be that the virus is airborne, therefore possibly transmiiable through air ducts, I don't know.

I can't recall how it originated, but I remember that the source was more or less traced back to one particular building somewhere in China. It came to Toronto via an infected person from China who flew over on an airplane. At first it seemed to be confined to the hospitals, but my heart sank when I heard that a clerk in a store had caught it. Like I say, it was lucky it wasn't more contagious, although we didn't know that at the time.

Alright they mate!I remember the news of this from over here in the u.k a few years ago.Some really scary stuff that!To think it came from the place that supposed to help you when your in need.
Yeah things got pretty heavy for a while. It was tough for doctors and nurses for sure. I'm 99% sure at least one doctor and nurse who were treating people contracted the virus and died. In hindsight, probably too much time elapsed between the first reports of the illness and the authorities taking official action.
