- ceejayoz 10y agoYou're completely missing the point. Peer-reviewed research (http://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal.pntd.0004530 http://journals.plos.org/plosntds/article?id=10.1371/journal...) states that "80% being clinically asymptomatic during initial infection". For the 20% of symptomatic people, the WHO lists (http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/zika/en/ http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/zika/en/) similar symptoms to cold/flu, symptoms you wouldn't necessarily assume are Zika symptoms. Your friends you know have had Zika are symptomatic. You may have plenty of friends (not to mention yourself) in the much larger asymptomatic bucket. The "I don't think all the experts are right because anecdotes" attitude just makes you look silly.
- ramon 10y ago@ceejayoz If you think I look silly you may laugh no problem. But just having a bunch of Google searches and putting that all together to make your thesis is not the right way to go. What I'm saying is what they're affirming in a national government website is an incorrect statement rather then saying that the experts are wrong, don't miss understand my words. Best Regards,
