The virus can also cause miscarriage or birth defects in women already pregnant.

If this is true, then these women whose unborn babies have ALREADY been damaged, will need help in dealing with the trauma of miscarriage and/or the steep costs of a child who needs ongoing specialized medical care.

It is not clear, however, that Zika causes birth defects. At least, some epidemiologists are urging caution because causality has not been firmly established.

"Zika hysteria is way ahead of research into virus, says expert (Microcephaly? Maybe not..)"

A lot more research is needed --- and fast.
