Ebola in India: The End of Civilization?

[Icewolf]

How India responds to such public-health challenges is a matter of growing importance. The country's success in eradicating polio, and a renewed enthusiasm for tackling dreadful sanitation, both suggest more capacity and greater will to address the spread of diseases. But at the same time, a large and ever more mobile population mean that illnesses are more easily spread. How India would react to a more deadly, and virulent, public-health threat—such as it would if the Ebola virus were brought into the country, by the many Indians who work in West Africa—is uncertain. Peter Piot, who helped to discover Ebola, says the spread of Ebola to India is a great worry. One starting point for addressing any public-health problem—whether dengue, Ebola or anything else—is with the gathering and publishing of accurate data about it. If India can improve its record on this count, so much the better.

No, but If Ebola ever reaches India, the open defecation and general uncleanliness in India means the rapid spread of Ebola.

India does have many African migrants, which could be a source of infection.

I hope India takes precautions, as if it is in India, it will be in Pakistan.

We also have our polio issues to take care of. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

ebola has high mortality rate.. but it does not spread fast.. most patient in africa have infected just one other person.
It can be easily contained... compare ebola with terrorism/airline crash .. it grabs headline but very few of us will die even if goes to India.
800 people died of ebola in africa.. 300,000 died from malaria this year in same continent.

Patha yaar, but Polio is alive and kicking in Pakistan, Ebola isn't in India and inshallah won't.

It's serious this time. India should ban travel to Africa.

There will be some very serious concerns for Pakistan as well, in case Ebola spreads in India,

Ebola will soon affect 2 million by The new year buddy. This isn't a laughing matter.

I expect 4 months for ebola to hit india. Then there will be chaos as Ebola spreads like it has never done before. Atleast in western Africa people are spread out and there are more rural living people. In India, most of the population is urban, and the cities are literally a disease breeding fest. So I am very scared of what will happen to the world in few months

Yea, But Pakistan doesn't have African immigrant students like India does
