The five submissions studied were: the Canadian Nursing Association Brief to the National Advisory Committee on SARS and Public Health On 5 March 2003, SARS claimed its first Ontario victim when Sui-chu Kwan, a 78-year-old woman who had returned from a trip to Hong Kong, died of the disease. Instead, the silencing of nurses proved deadly as the SARS virus continued to spread placing both the public and health care workers at heightened risk. It is evident that nurses had little knowledge of previous public health crises and no context in which to place the SARS epidemic. That is they reacted to health care crisis of unknown epidemiology with much fear and, due to the nature of nursing during these crises, are prone to feelings of isolation.	./cache/cord-302381-oujsmf8d.txt	./txt/cord-302381-oujsmf8d.txt
