Toronto's complaining about the health warnings that the WHO have given out about SARS.

They're complaining, because they say the situation's been blown out of all proportion.

20 people are dead from a virus with no cure, the death rate (that's rate, not just the toll) is increasing, and the situation in Toronto is apparently similar to that in Hong Kong a similar length of time after its first case. 130 have died so far in Hong Kong.

It's like the mayor of the small town with a crocodile saying, "We can't shut the lake because it'll damage tourism. There is no crocodile."
