Zika virus has been recently discovered in Hawaii and among the world, it begins from a tantalized mosquito bite, there is no cure for the disease, Zika has led to the birth defect in new born babies with a abnormally small head, mental illnesses and death. There is currently ongoing research to discover and generate a cure or vaccine for other countries, Hawaii governor has signed an emergency prevention effort for the island. Other efforts such as pesticide treatments and marginal protection have been implemented. It should be stated that people must avoid these infested countries/islands.
This outrageous Zika outbreak can be connected to previous illnesses in history like yellow fever, polio, scarlet fever, and more, as time went by there were many efforts to discover and create a cure. Today technology has advanced which makes the cure/vaccine more attainable. :) Although, there have been so many cases in which innocent babies have been effected, there must be cure in the near future to prevent the spread in America and many other countries.

I'm curious as to how they are going to help people in poorer countries provide the money for medical treatment of their ill babies.
