Up to 100 people may have had direct or indirect contact with the first person diagnosed with the deadly Ebola virus in the United States, and four people have been quarantined in a Dallas apartment, health officials said on Thursday.

This from a SINGLE guy in a developed/advanced, not a dense city in US, and one who happens to be a good samaritan who voluntarily went to ER twice only to be brushed aside and sent home. I am sure, he was very careful in limiting contact suspecting his own condition.

Imagine this happening to an Indian (like the doctor couple stuck in Australian airport customs). The Indian will rub and shake with everyone in the family, eat/share food, and go to temples and shopping complexes jostling with the milling festival crowd.

If it were an Indian in India, the entire city would have been contaminated.

Ebola in India will be disaster, unless magically some desi genetic makeup fights Ebola naturally.

India DOES NOT have infrastructure, rules, social norms to fight ANY disease like Ebola.

This Old man, FlimFlam has long past his 'Best before date' and is ready to become history.

He would have died of heart attack a long time ago, had he been teaching English to elementary school kids today.
