It depends on what your definition of …

The number of people with SARS in the latest outbreak in Canada’s largest city tripled to 33 on Thursday when health officials broadened their definition of what constitutes a probable case to meet international standards.

It’s so very nice of Canada to rise to the occasion and “meet international standards”.

Prime Minister Jean Chretien promised his government would provide financial help to fight SARS in Toronto, and insisted the city was safe to visit.

Of course the city is safe to visit, for everyone who keeps their head in the sand, like you Mr. Chretien.

Despite the SARS scare, life has continued as usual in the metropolitan area of more than 3 million people on the north shore of Lake Ontario. No one wears masks in the bustling downtown streets, and restaurants, theaters and other entertainment venues remain open despite complaints of decreased business because of SARS.

It sounds to me, if “venues remain open despite complaints of decreased business because of SARS” then “life has not continued as usual“.
