and it is a worry. Zika-positive mosquitoes were recently found in 3 traps located in an area where the virus is spreading and state officials refuse to identify 2 of those trap locations. The state has been slow to let us know where new outbreaks are I think because of the effect it will have on tourism.
If any good comes out of this at all it will be more attention given to Guillain-Barre. None of my friends had ever heard of it before Zika.
