To underscore that Florida has become the latest “ground zero” in the U.S. mainland battle against the mosquito-borne virus, Republican Gov. Rick Scott announced Friday that there have been five new cases identified in Miami Beach, some involving tourists — while the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a warning Friday that pregnant women should stay out the region. To date, there have been more than 500 reported cases of Zika in the Sunshine State, with 63 reported among pregnant women.
But Miami isn’t the only hard-hit area.
Puerto Rico officials have warned that as many as 270 babies may be born with the severe birth defect known as microcephaly caused by Zika infections in their mothers during pregnancy. As of August 12, Puerto Rico had 10,690 laboratory-confirmed cases of Zika, including 1,035 pregnant women.
daily reminder we can drive mosquitos to extinction at any time
>release millions of modified male mosquitos into wild >males mate with females >females produce only genetically modified males >mosquito life cycle less than two weeks >rip mosquitos

Son is that you?

Lol the Hispanics are getting hit harder than we are, maybe Mexico will become a country full of pinhead ripe for the taking
Nolan Brown
That creature doesn't even know what the fuck is going on.

>mosquitoes are getting laid >you still can't get laid and you're turning 30
Caleb Wood
that's no good, we don't need a collapsing government on our doorstep, it's like your neighbor has the flu and leaves their gate open while marauders are having fun next-next door. hopefully its contained in brazil and spreads slowly
Noah Brown
but her family, pretty sure claims she is happy
James Davis
They wouldnt live,climate is not good.you need man with zika and already living population of mosq
David Rogers
That's not going to happen and you know it.
Both parties want more immigration, even Trump said after he "deports" them he's going to let them apply to come back.
Kayden Anderson
Ooh look, one of the hippies you have to thank for malaria and zika. How does it feel to be in favor of a policy that has killed more people than communism?
Grayson Williams
to be factual, florida has laws in place to keep any and all arrest records from being concealed, websites like to pick and choose from them for clickbait
Bentley Johnson
99% of people killed by mosquito shit are shitskins

Just think, what would otherwise be a rare type of human, this Zika outbreak is going to create a whole generation of thousands of tiny headed humans, who will, in turn, reproduce more tiny headed humans.
Zika & the genetically modified mosquito which they plan to use to finish Zika off, it seems fishy. Like the start of a movie. Something that makes females unable to produce valid offspring, maybe indefinitely, certainly seems like something someone would manufacture to control the human population
Brayden Ramirez
I LOVE YOU ZIKA-CHAN
Xavier Brown
human life cycle is 20-30 years
we'd see it coming long before it spread to everyone
Ian Moore
Good. Americans, Brazilians and spics should all die desu.
Jayden Lee
just dont have kids
Angel Scott
It's going to be interesting to watch the threads here once the Zika-Babies / Pinhead-Babies are old enough to find Sup Forums
Nicholas Nguyen
I love you zika-chan

10-15% communicability after infection.
Tyler Carter
UNDERRATED

After we elect God Emperor Trump and erect the wall, a giant mosquito net will be erected around South America.
Jack Smith
Out of curiosity, other than the effects it has on pregnant women, what does Zika actually do to people?
Levi Gray
For you
Luis Carter
Move north, bro, if you're worried that much about it. Although, it's currently only being transmitted in a couple tiny areas of southern Florida. Regardless, if it bothers you and you can afford, there's plenty of room up here.
Jace Morales
YOU HAVE TO GO BACK
Juan Rivera
I LOVE YOU ZIKA-CHAN!
Joshua Brooks
What if they weren't a goal...but a prediction? Or a warning from the future?
Josiah Wood
look we have really good success with mosquito extermination efforts over here then why the fuck arent the US doing something concretely about this?
Benjamin Powell
They don't know. Read recently that in mice it can affect the brain stem. However those mice had to be immunological weaken, because healthy mice just shrugged off the virus.
Of course mice studies do not always transfer to human studies. So it really is a 'wait and see' at this time.
Luke Brown
2010 - Rick Scott and GOP legislature gut Mosquito Control and Health Services funds 2011 - Rick Scott and GOP legislature gut Mosquito Control and Health Services funds 2012 - Rick Scott and GOP legislature gut Mosquito Control and Health Services funds 2013 - Rick Scott and GOP legislature gut Mosquito Control and Health Services funds 2014 - Rick Scott and GOP legislature gut Mosquito Control and Health Services funds 2015 - Rick Scott and GOP legislature gut Mosquito Control and Health Services funds 2016 - Rick Scott demands socialism from Federal gubmint because Moquito Control is completely gutted in Florida and citizens got no Health Services
Rick Scott runs around holding press conferences and saying prayers for infected people, where are fucking health services?
Rick Scott blames Obama because mosquitoes everywhere, nobody got heath services.
Fucking Rick Scott. Worst. Governor. Ever.
Ryan Lopez
Not surprised. Bring in third world people, they bring third world problems.
Adam Martin
I LOVE YOU ZIKA-CHAN!

John Clark
Because Bill Gates along with the Rockefellers funded this bullshit. This wasn't an accident
Jonathan White
Ebola-chan is cuter. Can we weaponize Zika to only affect niggers?
Cameron Perry
At the moment the US is having a hard time thinking long term. Political year and all that. Add to that the fact that this shit doesn't kill you, nor does it have permanent effects in current healthy tax paying individuals, and you have a recipe for dragging your feet.
When yellow fever and dengue was killing people back in the day, or more recently West Nile, the US got on top of that shit hard. Let them find out this shit is more harmful than already thought and you'll see the US go hard against it.
Juan King
redpill me? why and how?
Eli Adams
>implying it isn't already weaponized to only affect latinos
Isaac Smith
Achmed, you wouldn't be trying to divide Americans would you? Nah, of course not.
Jordan Davis
Gee, if only we could bar people from countries with Zika problems from entering the US and bar travel to any of those countries as well.
Too bad that would be racist.
Josiah Bell
yeah but this isnt high tech stuff you dont need drones or anything you just need a guy with a couple of buckets of anti mosquito shit and spray it in still water its literally no effort whatsoever the spics themselves could do it in their kitchen
Kayden Clark
I LOVE YOU ZIKA-CHAN!
Oliver Sanchez
florida and sweden have different climates and topographies
