The Centers for Disease Control estimates that a full quarter of Puerto Rico’s residents will be infected with the Zika virus by the end of 2016. That dire warning was initially made in June, as health officials noted the disease was spreading at previously unexpected speeds. Late last week, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy reiterated that figure, stating that 25 percent of the country’s 3.5 million inhabitants will be infected by the end of the year, and expressed urgency in addressing the virus as infection rates threaten to reach epidemic levels. “We cannot afford to wait much longer,” Murthy said, according to the report from the AP. “I am deeply concerned about how quickly the virus is spreading.” |

Zika virus is of little to no consequence. It's Bulls**t. It will fade away just like every other scare tactic Pandemic that gets announced very 6 months or a year. |

We could break out the DDT and fix Puerto Rico's problem in less than a month if it were not for the EPA. |
