Ebola in India, is the world paying attention to the right story?

With fears of the highly lethal African disease Ebola reaching the United States coming to fruition just days ago in Texas, the prospect of another Ebola case in Hawaii is only stocking fears as professional media outlets are trying to chase down the health story of the year.  Although the symptoms of Ebola are terrifying and the high mortality rate make it a serious health concern, the United States healthcare system is more than capable of addressing an Ebola outbreak.  As long as infected Americans get treatment, doctors will put whatever resources it takes into curing Ebola victims and blunting the spread of the disease. 

What is far scarier is the potential of an Ebola outbreak in a densely populated poor country with widespread poverty and a weak healthcare system.  One such country is India.  Considering our globalized transportation system and the growing threat of globalized terrorism, which includes suicide attacks, transmitting Ebola through either infected individuals or samples of bodily fluids sent to random addresses is a real potential.  

In crowded places like India, undetected cases of Ebola could quickly infect large segments of the massive population with insufficient medical care to stem the spread.  Should a Nation like India succumb to an Ebola epidemic, the panic and disruption to the global economy would ripple throughout the world.  Consequently, the Ebola story is not in the United States; it is where the virus cannot be stopped, i.e. places where the world needs to proactively develop solutions.
