I find zika to be problematic. I get that we're all supposed to be scared, and that we should not have children. But there seems to be a severe lack of facts that reminds me of the recent ebola situation. It turns out, ebola isn't very contagious, nor is it deadly to first world countries. I get the feeling zika is being hyped for reasons that have a lot more to do with cya than actual facts in evidence.

- lujim 10y agoIsn't Ebola very contagious, just not airborne? Also didn't a strain of it go airborne in a primate enclosure Virginia in the 1990s? Asking because I thought that was the case but can't remember. I read "In the Hot Zone" a few years back but don't remember the details.
