I'm a little curious why the CDC is not doing a Zika case count in the U.S.  If I remember correctly, they kept track of West Nile and Chikungunya.   In my opinion it's still one big attempt to downplay.  Or they really need to get with the program and start tracking the Zika cases, if that's the problem.   They can track Brazil's 1.5 mill cases no prob.

This will be downplayed until Zika enters the mosquito population here so they no longer have to worry about flight restriction issues coming up.    Out of all fed entities, the CDC is the one I trust the least these days.   No tracking at all in this is real concerning and telling.

Australia has had several confirmed cases too and its the same. They don't appear.

Maybe they have been caught napping and are currently playing catch up. That combined with diplomatic pressure and we are in limbo land.

I still haven't found any decent numbers to graph out either. Wiki has minimal details.

Its a little concerning

I'm telling you that this is an attempt to avoid flight restriction controversies.   That is a 100% fact.
