Texas has reported 97 cases of Zika virus disease, including the two infants with microcephaly from Harris County. All Texas cases are related to travel abroad to areas with active Zika transmission. There have been no reported cases of Zika virus disease transmitted by mosquitoes in Texas, but Texas is on alert for the possibility local transmission.
With its link to microcephaly, Zika poses a serious threat to unborn children. DSHS is tracking the number of pregnant women with Zika in the state, working with providers and reporting weekly data to the national Zika pregnancy registry. DSHS is studying past microcephaly data to understand the prevalence and patterns of this condition in Texas.

I think there’s a lot if it in Harris county. Lots of tiny brains around there.

Sounds like many crossing the border for our wonderful health system. Oh and don’t forget lifetime disability payments for the American citizen child.
I don’t have any more sympathy left for those that rape and abuse our generous system.

“During her pregnancy, the mother was in Latin America, where she was infected, and the baby acquired the infection in the womb.”
Translation. As soon as the Central American knew she was knocked up, she made her illegal alien trip to drop an anchor baby here.

Damn. And she thought she had won the anchor baby lottery.

97 cases? It’s only a matter of time before it enters the local mosquito population.
