Zika Virus spreads By: Emma Wall

http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/01/health/zika-virus-public-health-emergency/index.html

The article above relates to one that I wrote earlier about the zika virus. The virus has become very extreme.  The article states that The World Health Organization sent out a 'public health emergency of international concern' on Monday due to concerns from doctors.  The virus is spreading rapidly and cases have been found in over 20 countries.

It is honestly very concerning that a virus is spreading this fast.  This could potentially spread to the United States. If it does end up spreading to the U.S. it could have the similar effects as the Swine Flu.  For example, it could lead to the closings of schools and offices if it gets severe.  Hopefully, that is not the case.
