Yet another health threat has entered the United States, this time from a virus that is transferred via mosquito bites, Aedes aegypti, known as the Zika virus. Eleven states have been confirmed, as well as the District of Columbia, to be home to the carrier mosquito.
Twenty-three countries across Central and South America also have a number of cases that are “growing rapidly”.
The World Health Organization is convening an emergency meeting, said Dr. Margaret Chan, director general of W.H.O., to decide whether a public health emergency should be declared. W.H.O. reports that the disease is “spreading explosively” in the Americas, with as many as four million people potentially infected by the year’s end.
Zika is expecially harmful to pregnant women and their developing babies. The number of Microcephaly cases due to the virus in Brazil alone has reached 4,000 cases.

The only mosquito which spreads this virus use only to live in the Tropic’s. That mosquito has made the jump past the subtropical desert belt. Just like the fact almost every species is migrating to the poles, or upward in elevation. We should get ready for every tropical disease, it is now Global Warming; those mosquitoes now live year long in the American South and will ride the winds in the summer way way up north.
Zika has been around since the 70’s and we just so happen to be hearing about this epidemic when we have a profitable treatment for it. And this cure just so happens to be found right before releasing thousands of gm mosquitos that may be carrying this disease
