If the federal government is to be believed, the Zika virus poses a much bigger threat to the United States than anybody previously imagined.
Initially confined to Third World countries, the naseent epidemic has slowly but surely worked it’s way into the US, with at least 346 cases of the virus confirmed. Reportedly, 32 of those infected are pregnant women while seven contracted Zika through sexual activity.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been scrambling to contain the creeping threat, but so far their efforts have been for naught. Officials claim that mosquito eradication campaigns, lab tests and vaccine research have all been tried in the fight against Zika, but none of the aforementioned methods were able to catch up with the rapidly-developing contagion.
Caught off-guard by the severity of the threat, the Obama administration is begging Congress to allocate emergency funds totaling $1.9 billion to facilitate anti-Zika efforts.

Really, or is this just a way to spend more money?
Nothing to see her folks ! Its just ramped up racism against killer viruses ! If you dont want to get it .. You Are A Racist and its all Bush’s Fault !
Forget it…no more money
obamas will probably use the money for muslimes
try to control with fear.
That makes 2 of us.
It’s not deadly. If a pregnant woman is bitten by a mosquito that happens to have the virus then her baby will have a misformed head. I heard that there was the first case ever of the virus transfer by sexual contact – I find that one unbelievable. Don’t believe everything you hear.
Fraud
Ask the Rockerfellers, they made it
$1.9 billion huh? and whose pocket will that go into? Is that like Planned Parenthoods and the Global Warming scams as well?
