Totally drug-resistant TB at large in India

Totally drug-resistant TB at large in India - health - 12 January 2012 - New Scientist. Fortunately there aren't many cases (found) so far (12, and 3 are already dead). But there were an estimated 11,000 multi drug resistant cases of TB in India in 2006. Since each case spreads to 10 to 20 other people per year, that's a lot of sick people in 2012. Since every disease is only 36 hours away and MDR-TB costs $2,000 - $12,000 per case to treat my advice is: get top medical insurance now and don't go to Mumbai.
