>Can have no symptoms, but people may experience: Pain areas: in the back of the eyes, joints, or muscles Whole body: fatigue, fever, chills, loss of appetite, or sweating Also common: eye redness, headache, skin rash, or vomiting
Guys isnt zyka totally not fucking important at all so long as it doesnt make babies retarded long after the symptoms stop, which only lasts a month or two?
Why dont we all just get zyka and get it over with

Viruses like this fuck you up way beyond what you might think
For example, Herpes increases your cancer risk
Cameron Jackson
it has the potential to damage your brain even if you are not pregnant or having kids
>Zika has also been linked to neurological conditions in adults, namely Guillain-Barré syndrome, a disorder that can cause temporary paralysis and permanent nerve damage.
>4 out of 5 cases have no symptoms
the olympics was a big fat mistake
Kevin Cook
Zika stays in the body of up to 2 to 4 years
Jackson Jackson
No its permanent retardation in most cases unless i was being jewed
Hudson Campbell
It's not as exciting as Ebola-chan unfortunately. The most I can see it doing is making 3rd worldfags even more willing to emigrate to our countries.
Is there a Zika-chan yet?
Angel Barnes
I wonder if a mosquito can carry the Zika virus and Ebola at the same time?
Tyler Miller
if you cant die from it isno big deal i bet river nile is 3 times more severe
Zachary Mitchell
Zika is fucked up brahs. All my family has had it, it usually means a week in bed from the pain. Also, doctorfag here, seen fuckers die of zika and couldnt do shit about it. Also read up on Guillain-barre syndrome and its connection to zika, we are more fucked than you think.

>Obama’s Zika Advice to America: Use Condoms Properly
In his weekly address released on Saturday, President Barack Obama criticized the Republican Congress for not assenting to his request for “emergency resources” to “combat Zika,” and said that Americans should protect themselves from the virus by, among others things, “using condoms properly.”
“Because Zika can be spread through unprotected sex, it’s not just women who need to be careful--men do too,” the president told the nation. “That includes using condoms properly.”
Obama also advised Americans: “Stay in places with air conditioning and window screens.”
"And as long as I’m President, we’ll keep doing everything we can to slow the spread of this virus, and put our children’s futures first. Thanks everybody."
Its understandable that there will be side effects that no one knows about yet. For zika to wreck humanity though, we are gonna have to get it to mutate. Im hoping for a kick ass mutation that causes Ophiocordyceps unilateralis. Wishful thinking though, its never gonna happen.
Asher Brooks
I get that. I've been on a 2 year dry spell and it will probably continue until I die. But if you live in the south the mosquito species that carries the disease is prominent and stings primarily at night. Florida is going to fuck us all in the end so you don't have to die a virgin.
Luis Gomez
what a cuck president
Christian Cooper
When it comes to zika breeding include all of the southeast. Its been so fucking hot and humid its perfect skeeter weather. Once it really takes off shits gonna spread fast as fuck.

>The history of Zika virus
The virus was first isolated in April 1947 from a rhesus macaque monkey that had been placed in a cage in the Zika Forest of Uganda, near Lake Victoria, by the scientists of the Yellow Fever Research Institute. A second isolation from the mosquito A. africanus followed at the same site in January 1948. When the monkey developed a fever, researchers isolated from its serum a "filterable transmissible agent" that was named Zika in 1948.
>literally extracting diseases from the jungle
Oliver Parker
>And as long as I'm President
What did he mean by this?
Evan Thompson
Hahaha
Jacob Bennett
Yellow fever is also what Americans most experimented with. US army released yellow fever many times around USA during cold war.
Zachary Foster
Linked does not imply causation, and 4 out of 5 not reporting symptoms is pretty good odds to me.
You really panic whenever the media tells you to? Next you are going to say Ebola was an actual threat.
why monkeys create all the big viruses? shouldn't we just harambe them all?
Grayson Taylor
Zika affects adult brains. I posted this shit yesterday, but the thread got slid. independent.co.uk/news/science/zika-alzheimers-effect-adults-symptoms-causes-what-happens-latest-study-a7198876.html >Experiments on adult mice engineered to mimic human Zika infection show that the virus seems to attack immature cells in the adult brain. Those same cells are vital to learning and memory – and so losing them could have disastrous effects, comparable to those experienced by people with Alzheimer’s. >Over time, the gradual attack on those cells could lead to shrinkage of the brain and major impairment of cognitive processes, the scientist behind the study said. >Professor Joseph Gleeson, from Rockefeller University, said: "Our results are pretty dramatic - in the parts of the brain that lit up, it was like a Christmas tree. >"It was very clear that the virus wasn't affecting the whole brain evenly, like people are seeing in the foetus. In the adult, it's only these two populations that are very specific to the stem cells that are affected by virus. These cells are special, and somehow very susceptible to the infection. >"Based on our findings, getting infected with Zika as an adult may not be as innocuous as people think." Who would have thought? >article is from 19 August >Rockefeller University >Experiments on adult mice engineered to mimic human Zika infection (((They))) most certainly knew all about Zika affecting brains of infected before the Olympic games even started.
Parker Nelson
im not going to risk brain damage just to be 10% edgier

Jackson Fisher
I don't know about the rest of the south but at least in Texas our first big mosquito die off is in late September. Then we have six months until they come back and better have a solution. I just don't want to be paralyzed, I can't fap or shoot guns while paralyzed.
Jack Price
>through sexual contact, particularly oral, anal and vaginal sex Uhhh, what other kinds of sexual contact are there???

Wait till the Olympic cunts come home.
It was the plan all along anonocunt.

fisting what exactly?? pretty sure thats covered in anal and vaginal, unless your talking about fist to fist and thats just fighting.
So you really can rape someone with your eyes?? shit, who knew!
Jaxon Cook
mutual wanks??? wtf is that?? what is even the point, i can guarantee nobody knows how to wank me as good as i do, i know all the right buttons to push, ive had plenty of practice. As for dildos im pretty sure thats covered in vag and anus.
Hudson Powell
THANK YOU BASED ROCKEFELLER.
Christian Ramirez
We will probably have something akin to mad cow disease cases with Zika. Two to five years from now people with history of infection will start to get Alzheimer's with a lot of new cases in people not even 30 years old.
Chase Nelson
Whelp we are fucked. Heres to sexbots hopefully being a thing before the mosuitozikapocalypse.
Alexander Sanders
Went on a giant walk around Aljunied 2 weeks ago. I wasn't even Pokefagging, this was legit fresh air and exercise.
And now I'm going to fucking die of HUE AIDS thanks to it.
Let this be a lesson to always stay indoors playing vidya.
It's more of a "wow look at us we're a couple of faggots in a blossoming romance in a fanfiction written by a heterosexual woman!" thing.
I have never done it nor plan to do it, but a good assfucking is always fine with me.
Lucas Garcia
i think you misread. 4 out of 5 isnt a good thing. it doesnt mean 4 out of 5 dont get the disease. It means they can get 100% infected with it but show --zero-- symptoms. So you can have contact with someone that seems 100% healthy but he gives you this brain paralysing illness.
and because 80% dont have symptoms, the real number of infected is way higher than what is reported.
HOLY FUCK I THNK I HAVE ZIKA Seriously, those symptoms make me laugh. It's like they were specially tailored for hypochondriacs
Colton Bailey
I wouldn't worry about the brain damage. Symptoms are patient feedback, it's what you feel when you have a disease. Hence why a doctor asks you how you feel, he is looking for symptoms.
Hence 80% feel any way which would reflect being infected with any sort of disease. Those that do, report mild headaches and such, with a handful of extreme cases reporting short-lived paralysis. I would take those odds any day of the week you total retard.
This is why you need to stop taking the media at face value, the wording changes between biology/medicine and everyday use. They intentionally abuse this fact.
Connor Garcia
80% don't feel*

Jace Ortiz
This isn't as fun as the ebola outbreak.
Connor Lopez
I think life is too dangerous for you if these odds are too crazy.
Lightning is literally an order of magnitude less likely than a fatal car accident, and lightning is more likely than dangerous/extreme Zhika symptoms.
Walking up/down a flight of stair, using a toaster, and putting on small trousers in a small room are all also statistically more dangerous than cars. So yeah, maybe you should just off yourself now to save all of the abstract terror you feel towards media hyped non-issues.

John Parker
we told you last year what stage we were at with our testing in order to preserve the longevity of Human Culture and technological Advancement. we've had several stages to proof of concept for controlled population reduction amongst varying avenues. We've been very successful so far so I'll share our next stage with you. We have been working on splitting the genetic code of key viruses to enable high pathogen penetration with low population awareness. Basically there are two independent pieces of the virus that are capable of reproduction and transmission separately. however when the two keys meet in the host they merge to create the full viral strain. this always for maximum population penetration without population awareness and will make it nearly impossible to eradicate since the two keys propagate independently with out negative effects and only when two independent populations of strain a and strain b meet will the full viral infection express itself as the new ab strain.
