Campbell and Warrener met with a family member of Campbell's last week in Toronto. This family member has SARS, an unknown virus. Campbell and Warrener don't have it, but must be quarantined for 7 more days to ensure the virus not be spread. (The team had 3 home games therefore didn't travel)

They'll probably be alright but will probably out till Sat's game at Boston.

Yeah.. I heard about this yesterday.. pretty awful stuff.. I hope this doesn't get out of hand.. and I hope that they don't pick up any of the symptoms.. but it's better to be safe than sorry..

Living in Ontario.. hearing about this is even worse for me.. because the thing is spreading.. and our doctors have advised us not to travel anywhere of any distance.. just in case we do have any of the symptoms so that it doesn't get out of hand and so that it won't spread.. so I don't think I'll be able to make it down for any more games this season.. even though I'm as healthy as can be.. oh well wouldn't want to make this problem into anything any bigger anyway..
