This is very serious and alarming. As summer approaches and mosquito populations increase more people will be catching this and it can be spread by sexual contact and possibly other ways as more research comes in. Today is a crossroads for the U.S. in terms of Zika. It in most of the states now and could spread to more. It has been directly linked to birth defects. It is here.  No longer if, or when... but now.
