Zika Virus Is Spreading Exposively - WHO by duketunde: 9:55pm On Jan 28, 2016
With the recent outbreak of the 'Zika Virus' responsible for birth defects in newborn, the World Health Organization (WHO) has just released a statement that the virus is now spiraling out of control.

The Zika virus is "is now spreading explosively" in the Americas, the head of the World Health Organization said Thursday, with another official estimating between 3 million to 4 million infections in the region over a 12-month period.
"The level of concern is high, as is the level of uncertainty," Dr. Margaret Chan, WHO's director-general, told her organization's executive board members. "We need to get some answers quickly."

The lack of any immunity to Zika and the fact that mosquitoes spreading the virus can be found most "everywhere in the Americas" - from Argentina to the Southern United States - explains the speed of its transmission, said Dr. Sylvain Aldighieri, an official with the WHO and Pan American Health Organization.

After first being detected in 1947 in a monkey in Uganda, Zika was most often found along the equator from Africa into Asia - See more here http://www.duketundesblog.com/2016/01/zika-virus-is-spreading-exposively-who.html

So, like AIDS, EBOLA, etc, it was always in Africa. Yet an outbreak has never been heard of in Africa.
