The new big topics regarding outbreaks is called the Zika Virus. This is a virus which in a nutshell targets pregnant women and affects the unborn child. This virus causes the child to be born with a smaller head and brain and causes permanent brain damage. There is no cure and no vaccine to prevent the spread of this virus. The Zika virus is most common in Brazil. This outbreak has worried many people that the virus could spread world wide and eventually into the United States. The Health and Disease officials say this is unlikely according to this post.
I was just watching a report on CNN showing that the Zika Virus is already in the US and have been reported in about 7 states from California to New Jersey. Supposedly, this virus is being caused by mosquito’s. My question is this, if a person is infected, could the virus then be transmitted like a flu and become air borne?
Let me know your thoughts and what you think about this out break in the comments below.
