Dr. John T. Brooks, an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studying sexual transmission of the Zika virus, said he was not particularly surprised to see transmission that was probably by oral sex.
Transmission through kissing is unlikely, Dr. Brooks said.
Casual kissing has got to be safe because, if it werent, dont you think wed see a lot more Zika? Every mom who kissed her baby would pass it on, he said. To be sure, wed have to look for deep kissing in the absence of sexual contact, and thats hard to find. (more information available at the source)
We have so much more to learn about the Zika virus and its method of transmission.

This should be interesting, considering half (at least) of the Olympics athletes are sodomites of one ilk or another.

How long does Zika remain in the system?
Is it chronic and subject to unpredictable flare-ups, like herpes?
If so, given its predilection for fetal neuronal tissue, it might lead to a slew of microcephalic babies down the road...

The real price of “Open Borders” is the collapse of the American public health system.
Mass lethal diseases brought in with uncontrolled/monitored immigrants are the ticking time bombs set to destroy lives and local/state/federal budgets in the next 8-years.
