In Geneva, the World Health Organization's Africa director has issued a measured but urgent appeal: the Ebola outbreak moving through the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda is being met with a silence that history may judge harshly. The Bundibugyo strain, for which no vaccine exists, asks nothing of borders, and a single case is all that separates a regional crisis from a global one. Janabi's warning is less a cry of alarm than a reminder that the world's attention has never been a reliable measure of a threat's true weight.
