RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Scientists identified the Zika virus in the saliva and urine of two infected patients, a top Brazilian biomedical research institution said on Friday, prompting its president to urge pregnant women not to kiss strangers just as local carnival celebrations begin.

Millions of gay sex tourists are heading to Carnival as we speak. If you live near large gay ‘communities’ expect to see news stories about infections spreading in your town in the next few weeks.

Obama (...) discussed drinking urine

From the natural (male) source, at that!

I heard earlier, on a TV news program, that they are working to fight ZIKA with one of those genetically altered mosquitoes

Seems t'me, ZIKA is ALREADY a genetically altered mosquito set loose to perform some other operation that made people into Zippy The Pinhead

Here is some more reading from JAMA on the virus.

Zika Virus in the Americas - Yet Another Arbovirus Threat

The ongoing pandemic confirms that Zika is predominantly a mild or asymptomatic denguelike disease. However, data from French Polynesia documented a concomitant epidemic of 73 cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome and other neurologic conditions in a population of approximately 270,000, which may represent complications of Zika. Of greater concern is the explosive Brazilian epidemic of microcephaly, manifested by an apparent 20-fold increase in incidence from 2014 to 2015, which some public health officials believe is caused by Zika virus infections in pregnant women.
