Zika Speads in Florida, Infects 5 in Miami Beach (new area)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a new travel warning, telling pregnant women to avoid the popular tourist area if at all possible.

Florida health officials had earlier denied reports that Zika was spreading locally in Miami Beach. The local spread — meaning none of those infected had traveled to Zika-affected regions — strongly suggests that mosquitoes in the area have become infected with the virus and are biting people and spreading it.

"We believe we have a new area where local transmission is occurring in Miami Beach," Scott told a news conference.

"Active transmission is happening between 8th and 28th streets, an area just under 1.5 (square) miles."

The area includes much of South Beach, the quirky beachfront district popular for its outdoor restaurants and sidewalk promenades....

Zika is spread through unprotected sex. I’ll let people draw their own conclusions as to how this might be connected to it spreading in South Beach area of Miami. A population with a large proportion of persons with weakened immune systems may be more vulnerable to the virus, as well.

In 1900 and 1906 we were taught how to win this AR. In 1959 we were given a new weapon to use in this war.

Care to cite who the lead warriors were and what the new weapon was.
