Some will just know that they are just but flying around, now, it is creating a big scare, with emergency talks regarding the virus that mosquitoes can give. From malaria, to dengue to chikungunya...now Zika Virus. Both malaria and dengue can caused death, Zika is now being linked with babies born with defects (moher was infected during pregnancy). Zika virus is related to dengue, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, and West Nile viruses.The virus is now being considered a global health threat, that it could be bigger than ebola epidemic. Some South American countries has the highest number of infected people. Hoping that this virus will be stopped from spreading. Have you heard about Zika?

I have, and I hope they can get it contained so the number of people dying from it isn't very high.

@Lucky15 Since this is a new virus, they're probably just looking into getting a vaccine for it but won't be ready until it's no longer needed.

Of course I heard about the Zika virus, it's already in Europe, some case have been reported in several European countries. People who were vacationing in South America have brought the virus.
