A bit of Abbot and Costello humor at a press conference where the mayor of Toronto was expressing his outrage over the World Health Organization (WHO) travel quarantine<\/a> of his city.<\/p>\n

Mr Lastman, in his rage, mistakenly criticised the US Centres for Disease Control (CDC). A doctor, standing beside him during his speech, prompted him with: ‘WHO’. The Mayor repeated: ‘the CDC’.
