State of Emergency declared in US for Puerto Rico https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/aug/12...ate-of-emergency-mosquito where there already was a travel advisory, NOT to go to Florida. That could be costing more than the funding that POTUS asked for to fast-forward the fight against the disease, but was blocked.

New article about Zika in the adult brain from Rockefeller University, Joseph Gleeson, adjunct professor at Rockefeller. https://sciencesprings.wordpress.com/2016/08/...imited-to-pregnant-women/ That the virus may cause permanent damage to the adult brain makes this particularly worrisome; a real life "zombie virus". I live in south Florida, so I'm in the impact zone.  “Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions.” – James Madison (1792) [Edit 1 times, last edit by Paul Schlaffer at Aug 22, 2016 3:59:04 AM] |

I live in south Florida, so I'm in the impact zone. I live in Croatia, which witched from moderate to sub-tropical climate lately (in my lifetime)...& here on 45° llatitude, we have Tiger mosquito - which carries Zika virus...so far, no virus in Croatia...but Africa version in near & can spread easily!  So, we have to crunch on!  |
