    The course was what I needed and was excellent. The only thing was that it was done by an American University. I know that this site is international but a Canadian perspective would have been appreciated.

    Good information - should be provided to anyone with real interest in learning about the virus and how to prevent the spread. Maybe send to some government officials who do not understand the real threat.
