RIO & the ZIKA Virus

That is exactly what I've been saying all along nicko!!!
I don't know why some here have had so much trouble understanding this simple concept...

Read the links for yourself ...do not ask the 'FUCK-WIT' ...

for the clarification ...my sarcastic sense of humor is often misunderstood ...but there are a few topics that I don't joke around with

It does appear that 'Mother Nature' is culling the herd with her own unique method of insect war fair ...and this airborne attract seems to be very efficient - she's using the mosquitoes more each year as her primary carrier

your unbelievably rude.

And you are "unbelievably" suffering from selective memory: attacking one minute and demanding an apology the next when you've clearly just behaved the very same way that you NOW CLAIM YOU ABHOR

But do keep on ranting about your superior morality code, Nicko; tis quite amusing!

Although... the zika virus was first identified in Uganda in 1947...



And the first case in Brazil was confirmed in 2015... and suspected of being brought in by people infected with it during the massive influx of people to there for 2014 world cup...

And now with the Olympics happening... many more people will be travelling to Brazil... many will be getting infected with it... and then returning to home countries all over the world with the virus... which will then be spread to local populations of people... and local mosquito populations could also then be transmitting the virus too!!!


As I've been saying all along!!!

Thanks for the heads up Tommy Monks. There has been no resurgence of it during my lifetime so I was unaware of it. Yes, you're right, very scary!

Sadly since our TOMMYKINS can't be trusted to read - can't be trusted to repeat his own information within those links it's absolutely imperative that the adults do their own reading and translate the information back to 'TOMMYKINS' because he gets    by his PROOF all the time!

Experts Explain Key to Stopping Zika Virus From Spreading

This means the virus likely traveled to Brazil via an infected traveler who was then bitten by a mosquito, which then spread the virus.
“I think this provides pretty compelling evidence that it came [to Brazil] from French Polynesia. The main basis for that is the genetic similarity between the viral [samples],” said Dr. Peter Armbruster, professor of biology at Georgetown University, who was not involved in that study.

************************-***********
So unless you live in a identified region where The Aedes aegypti mosquito is living -  your chances of getting this ZIKA VIRUS would be from having sex with someone exsposed {bitten} while in the Rio Olympics ----THAT'S WTF ALL OF THE DATA & LINKS THAT I'VE GIVEN THIS MORON AND HE STILL WANTS TO REWRITE WHAT THE ARTICLES ARE SAYING!

That might be a assumption that 'those mosquito's carrying ZIKA virus' nasty things stay over there; we've had one case of human exposure right here in America ...the person didn't travel - wasn't having sexual contact with anyone from a 'Zika Rich' exposure country and still contracted the virus   
What's that mean exactly   We may have a few radical Zika mosquito population already right here in America and they can't find them!

Republicans Hold Zika Funding Hostage In Order to Fly the Confederate Flag
By Sarah Jones on Tue, Jul 12th, 2016 at 9:34 am

This is that time that Republicans stopped Americans from getting protection from the Zika virus because they feel they must first have the right to fly the Confederate flag over cemeteries.
You see, after Senate Republicans and Democrats hashed out a compromise on Zika funding that was less than what scientists asked for and thus less than what Democrats wanted but more than Republicans wanted, they sent that to the House. What came back?
Oh, sorry an American died from Zika and so sorry to the nearly 3,700 people in the U.S. (and territories) who have it, but Republicans will only fund the Zika emergency if they can fly the Confederate flag, create more abortions by refusing to fund birth control provided by Planned Parenthood, poison more water by exempting pesticides from the Clean Water Act, cut veterans funding and more.
Reid charged that due to the Republican provisions, the report now:
It restricts funding for birth control provided by Planned Parenthood.
It exempts pesticide spraying from the Clean Water Act.
It cuts veterans’ funding by $500 million below the Senate bill.
It cuts Ebola funding by $107 million.
It rescinds $543 million from Obamacare.
It strikes a prohibition on displaying the Confederate flag that was in the House bill.
You might be worried because seven babies have been born in the US with birth defects caused by Zika. But, sorry pregnant ladies whose labs came back with evidence of Zika virus infection (as of June 30, the CDC stats are 320 women in the US States and DC and 279 in territories) — the “pro-life” Republicans must be allowed to fly the Confederate flag and they feel that is more important than your baby. Senator Reid was pretty incensed that a health emergency is being held up over the Confederate flag, veterans’ funding, Planned Parenthood, and Obamacare. He said that Democrats wouldn’t bother voting for something the President wouldn’t sign, and “The only way to do that is to pass the Senate compromise as a stand-alone bill. And that is precisely what we Democrats are proposing.”
Reid continued, “It’s too bad but the House says we can’t do that unless we have that Confederate flag flying over cemeteries, stop people from going to Planned Parenthood, take money from Ebola, which everyone says we need to stay on top of. We take $500 million away from veterans processing claims.”

Nearly 15 days passed between the date that the first positive tested human was reported {non-traveled/non-sexual contact} and the mosquito's just kept breeding and the virus spreading and Gov. Scott didn't/wouldn't call in the CDC to help FIND THE AREA .

The Florida Department of Health has identified 10 more people who likely contracted Zika virus through a mosquito bite, Governor Rick Scott said Monday — bringing the total number of people with locally transmitted Zika to 14. Pregnant women are advised to avoid travel to the area just north of downtown Miami, health officials said.
Women who are considering getting pregnant and have traveled to the area should delay for eight weeks, Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said during a call Monday.
"Any pregnant women who traveled to this area on or after June 15 should speak to their doctors," Frieden said. "Pregnant women who live or work there should be tested during their first and second trimesters."                      

Pregnant women are also advised to use condoms for the duration of the pregnancy.
Two of the confirmed infections in Florida are women and 12 are men.

Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC said during an interview just now on CNN; these Zika carrying mosquitos don't obtain the virus from biting humans they have the virus and their range of flight is limited to an area of no more then 30 miles.

To Many Questions - To Few Answers; due to lack of funding!

Well, I'm not much for a 'wing-nut' conspiracy theory analysis ...but that's been questioned on another community  

Shit, forget germ warfare/chemical warfare/nuclear bombs - this is the cheapest/easiest way to invade a country and create chaos and deplete the human breeding stock known to mankind.

So many questions and our government is playing games with the funding!

Tommy Monk wrote:How many times do I have to keep stating the bleeding obvious...!?

People from America can go to another country and contract the virus and then return to America with the virus... then this can be spread to other people in America by local American mosquitos... 

People from other countries can also contract the virus and then arrive in America with the virus and then local American mosquitos can spread the virus to other American people...   and more

Why is this so hard for some to understand...!?   obviously, YOU can't grasp that YOU just keep getting it WRONG despite the facts/links - printed quotes from the director of the CDC.

What is wrong with you!!!???  Go say that while looking into a MIRROR!
Seriously!!!
The 'experts' have already said that mosquitos local to America are capable of transmitting the virus!!!
So what makes you think that someone can't turn up in America with the virus and then cant get bitten by a local mosquito and then this mosquito cant transmit it to another local person...!!!???

Please tell me?  FFS go get someone to read all of the factual links & data to you; I can't help you when you just can't grasp that you have it ALL ASS BACWARDS!

~~~HOPELESS~~~CONFUSED~~~and willfully wanting to remain in that same state of mind!

1) What makes you think that someone can't turn up in America with the virus after contracting it abroad?  Asked and answered; you just can't remember squat!

2) what makes you think that a person arriving to America  cant get bitten by a local mosquito that is capable of transmitting the virus?  Asked and answered; you just can't remember squat!

3) what makes you think a mosquito cant bite soneone with the virus and then transmit it to another local person...!!!???  Asked and answered; you just can't remember squat!
