I live near Toronto so definitely.

Speaking of SARS, I have an interesting story. In March 2003 (during March break) my whole family went to Hong Kong to visit family/relatives who live there. The morning after that night when we came back to Canada, we heard on the radio that some people in Vancouver who just came from Hong Kong had SARS. Then the whole quarantine thing came. Apparently, our family just came back early enough so we didn't need to quarantine. Phew! Lucky I was able to go to school. I remember my French teacher was like "are you sure you're not sick?" lol

Nope. A bit of paranoia in Australia, but there was never anything resembling an outbreak.

No. There was a panic in mass media, but nobody was sick.
