On November 8th in the Toronto Star there was an article titled, "Pearson aiport: Flu Magnet." A key quote from the article states, " As Toronto struggles through H1N1 influenza amid shortages of vaccine, it is here, at the international arrival gates of Pearson, that ever subsequent pandemic will also arrive, borne from every single imaginable corner of the plant. By one estimate, Toronto is the third most vulnurable city in North America, suprassed only by New York and Los Angeles in its potential exposure to diseases that develop elsewhere and quickly travel the worldwide airlines, unseen."
This quotation implies that the space of Pearson Airport, where thousands of people come and go on a daily basis is like a gateway and an entry point for all different viruses to enter into a country and infect hundreads and thousands of innocent people. What may have started off as a pandemic in a country across the ocean, within hours it can arrive into North America exposing the rest of the continent to it.
