What are your plans there? Personally, I wouldn't worry about Orlando at this time. I'd wear bug spray if walking around mainland Miami, but wouldn't cancel any trips there either.

Zika bugs don't actually fly so far that is why its taking a long time to spread so far they have only been connected to wynwood.

No, the primary vector is the aedes aegypti which is decidedly not everywhere.
Doesn't exist in CLE for example.

"If Florida mosquitoes were infected, health officials said, it is likely to be because they bit someone in Florida who had traveled to Latin America and been infected by a Zika-carrying mosquito bite there."

But NYC does http://www.cdc.gov/zika/vector/range.html

I'm working on teaching my super focused kid to respond when we call his name. If he doesn't listen we gently face his head towards us to interrupt him so he focuses on the sound of his name vs whatever he wants to be doing. Maybe try that on the new yorkers.

I have an uncle from out of town. When he comes to NY he says Gut Shabbos to everyone. Whenever ppl ask him "do I know your from somewhere?" He replies, nope, I simply thought that you were Jewish...

I was in Miami in January and was bitten many times by the aedes aegypti mosquito in the air-conditioned /Windows closed home. They hang out indoors , I don't think you plan on sleeping with insect repellent. I can post the picture of the smashed mosquito with zebra legs after we finally found it

Could be, I just thought Zika --> Microwhatever. Perhaps not 1:1, but higher than 1:100. Maybe I'm wrong.
Quote from: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/health/what-is-zika-virus.html
How might Zika cause brain damage in infants?
Experts aren’t yet certain.
The possibility that the Zika virus causes microcephaly – unusually small heads and often damaged brains – emerged in October when doctors in northern Brazil noticed a surge in babies with the condition.

Several reports now have shown that the virus can cross the placenta and attack fetal nerve cells, including some that develop into the brain.

Studies to prove whether the virus was to blame for microcephaly are expected to take until June, but evidence continues to mount. The virus is now considered “guilty until proven innocent,” one World Health Organization official said.

Normally, microcephaly occurs in about 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 10,000 of all births. Scientists analyzing outbreaks of the Zika virus in French Polynesia and northeast Brazil have estimated that the incidence rose to nearly 1 in 100 births nine months after those outbreaks peaked.

The way I read it is that overall microcephaly cases increased to 1 in 100 births after the zika outbreak, but the rate amongst babies born to people actually infected with zika was much higher.
