Is Geography Destiny?

Geography is destiny because of place and human interaction because if you live somewhere in the middle of Africa and you  have an illness like Ebola, you can only be cured by methods available to the area of Africa you’re in, which may not be the best treatment.
According to the CNN Wire, people are being transported out of West Africa to America for better treatment, however, only americans are being transported out. This is proof that geography decides destiny because the people who have the disease but aren't american are left in Africa to die from lack of treatment for the disease. People in Africa don't have access to the equipment needed to cure people with Ebola because the country that they live in may not be the wealthiest country and may not have access to the money necessary to get the equipment necessary to heal people with dangerous diseases such as Ebola.
According to Xinhua News Agency, the U.S. has given 100 million dollars to the countries in West Africa that are affected by this disease to help fight Ebola. The United States is transferring large amounts of money and resources to help fight the disease.

Overall I feel like geography does affect destiny because if they could, then the people in the small African villages would leave, but since a part of their lifestyle is to stay at the village and since nobody really leaves, then that is the destiny that their geography has made for them.
