   Two female Zika cases in Nebraska?   These travelers are all not get bitten by mosquitoes, lol.   From now on if my lady wants to travel alone, no way.       Too many flings when they travel alone (or hookups as the younger folk say).   I've known a few married women who would actually cheat on their spouses when they traveled alone, and men, well, probably a lot more.   Not to mention when they're single traveling with friends.    The CDC better come out with those condom guidelines soon.   The airlines should pass them out for free when landing in Rio. 

Two cases of Zika virus reported in Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb. —Two travel-related 
Zika virus cases have been reported to the Nebraska Department of Health
 and Human Services, the first cases in the state, the department said 
in a release.
One of the cases was reported in Douglas County and the other was 
reported in Sarpy County. Both people involved are females in their 20s 
who recently traveled to Zika-affected countries. 
Neither person was hospitalized, according to the release.

"Seeing
 a travel-related case of Zika in Nebraska is new but not unexpected," 
Dr. Tom Safranek, state epidemiologist for DHHS, said in the release. 
"It's very possible that we could see more travel-related cases here. 
This is a rapidly evolving situation, in the geographical distribution 
of Zika virus and what we know about its impact on human health."   
For
 years, doctors thought Zika was no different than a mild illness. Those
 infected got a fever, a headache, some joint pain and a rash.
Now the virus is linked to birth defects and neurological problems.
"The
 possible links, only recently suspected, have rapidly changed the risk 
profile of Zika from a mild threat to one of alarming proportions," said
 Dr. Margaret Chan, director-general of the WHO. "The increased 
incidence of microcephaly is particularly alarming, as it places a 
heartbreaking burden on families and communities."
