"[Puerto Rico] today confirmed 19 cases of Zika virus in Puerto Rico, chiefly in the southeastern zone," Health Department Secretary Ana Riu was quoted as saying by El Vocero.
The US Centers for Disease Control has stated there are serious birth defects of the brain called microcephaly as well as other poor pregnancy outcomes in babies of mothers who were infected with the Zika virus. The Zika virus can be spread from pregnant women to unborn babies.
Puerto Rico epidemiologist Brenda Rivera said the majority of cases are in the island's southeast region, according to a separate report on Fox News. None of the victims were pregnant and that many were elderly, Rivera added.
The mosquito-borne disease has raged in South America and other regions for several months. Twenty one countries and territories of the Americas have reported cases of the virus since May 2015, the World Health Organization's (WHO) regional office for the Americas said in a statement on Tuesday.
The WHO added that the disease is expected to spread to all but two nations in the Americas — Chile and Canada.
This is interesting from [Link] :
The zika scam is falling apart, because Brazilians have proven it is not zika causing the birth defects. So the people who caused the problems to begin with are now toe dipping various scenarios in the hope one of them that is not the real truth gains a foothold in the public conscience.
First it was Zika. Then it was a genetically modified mosquito Bill Gates released (that alone should get Gates put away but figure the odds of something great like that happening,) and now they are saying it is something new that is being spread via sex. And if you go out into the infosphere, it is all being pushed simultaneously, (gee gotta look for the new line today) but one thing you will never hear is that Brazil got a new Tdap shot for only pregnant women that coincides perfectly with these new birth defects, and is the only probable culprit that is present in 100 percent of the cases.
