...stayed one night at the Metropole Hotel. Kwan almost certainly had a chance encounter there with a retired Chinese nephrologist named Liu Jianlun, who, it turns out, had SARS. After her return to Toronto on Feb. 23, Kwan passed the disease to members of her family, including her son Tse. At Scarborough Grace, he was placed in a corner bed of the E.R.'s observation ward. Next to him was Joseph Pollack, 76, who had been complaining of an irregular heartbeat. That night Pollack almost certainly got SARS, as did another man in the room, a coronary patient whom authorities...
Could the spread of SARS in Toronto have been stopped that first night? Tse spent almost 24 hours in Scarborough Grace before he was placed in isolation. Says Dr. Sandy Finkelstein, who was on call that day: "His mother had died of a respiratory illness, and his background was Asian, and until proven otherwise, that's tuberculosis in my book.

...Tse had SARS, from which he died on March 13, and he was about to set off a chain reaction that would infect 138 Ontario residents, leave a total of 20 dead and force more than 10,000 people into quarantine over a four-week period. How could the situation in Toronto--a center of advanced medicine--have gone so wrong so quickly? Bad luck explains most of Toronto's tale, but not all of it. As a TIME investigation has found, medical staff members early on missed key opportunities that, if taken, might have drastically slowed the spread...
Adams first rose to fame with his 1987 opera Nixon in China, based on Richard Nixon’s 1972 meeting with Mao Tse Tung. It was created in cooperation with librettist Peter M. Sellars ’80 and choreographer Mark Morris, both recent speakers at Harvard...
