Zika virus ‘spreading explosively,' level of alarm ‘extremely high’

The World Health Organization announced Thursday that it will convene an emergency meeting to try to find ways to stop the transmission of the Zika virus — which officials said is "spreading explosively" across the Americas.

"The level of alarm is extremely high, as is the level of uncertainty. Questions abound. We need to get some answers quickly, " Margaret Chan, director general of the WHO, said in Geneva during a briefing for member countries.

The WHO said the pathogen, which was virtually unheard of in the region a year ago, is spreading so fast that it could infect as many as 3 million to 4 million people within 12 months. Chan said those numbers and the severity of the possible complications being reported -- from a brain abnormality called microcephaly in children to paralysis in adults -- make the situation dramatically different than what epidemiologists have seen with past outbreaks of the virus.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the United States has 31 confirmed cases in 11 states and the District of Columbia.

What kind of Ebola teas, so reductive.

 

Spoiler

Jokes aside, I'm getting the feel that governments want us to keep our minds focused on stuff like this so we don't/can't care about things like the way they're bombing innocents or letting Rusia destroy East Europe. Stay woke and fight the CIStem!

It's a program/HQ that the GOV uses to control weather, it's capable of mind control.
