This is like asking someone on DDF what's the weather like in XYZ.
Fact is that 25% of people in Puerto Rico for example will have Zika within the year.

I'm not sure to what you are responding?

The fact that you didn't see any mosquitoes. Anecdotal evidence is kind of irrelevant when it flies in the face of real data.

Simply frightening

Seems like it might be kdai if you are not expecting/trying to get pregnant now to go and purposefully infect yourself to build immunities for when it eventually spreads

Ebola at first sounded unbeatable, there was no vaccination in site, and still we got out of it being a threat to the world.

History and most recently Ebola show that when the world powers want and spent the money needed they can get over it.

Still I believe that we need hasham to want, but in teva thats the way it works.

Ebola isn't spreadable via mosquitos. World of difference.

It can be dangerous, it's just very not common to be.

Brazil says Zika is also linked with Guillain-Barré, so that may not be wise.

Interesting. They now say to wait six months. Curious if that timeline will go up

Unless you're planning on making another baby this year though, probably don't need to cancel. But IANAD.

Too much uncertainty about how long the virus really stays within the male body IMO.
