From Logan Macaulay, 1st Period
Summary : This article talks about the first Zika virus related death in Utah and Continental America. The Zika virus is a disease that can cause very bad deformities to babies. Most of the article talks about while there were some underlying medical problems, Zika seemed to be main cause of the death. The patient also was elderly.
Analysis : I think that while this article seems a bit scary, I honestly think it fake. They even say in the article that they can not fully identify if it the Zika that killed him. They were elderly with underlying conditions. While it is extremely dangerous, i do not think Zika was part of this death.
Overall i think that it is all just a publicity post, if it does end up that Zika is the cause of death this could end up being real this could be a real problem all over the world.

That would be terrible if we had an outbreak in America! My sister is in Brazil right now in a Zika virus area and I hope she doesn't get it! I thought its only a problem if your pregnant.---- Mikenzie Moon
