governor rick scott of floridahas declared a state of emergency in the states as aresult of the zika virus outbreak. there are as many asnine individuals that have detected the virus, but theyhave not contracted in the united states. they travel toother countries and that is when they got bitten by a mosquitoand got the virus. the governor is afraid that this will now spread to people and will leadto many terrible birth defects for pregnant women. if you getthe zika virus and you are a
healthy adults, you will havesome mild symptoms that will eventually go away. but if youare pregnant it can have serious ramifications on the baby. itcan lead to a condition that has the baby develop a small headand small brain. usually they don't live a very long. they die shortly after birth. let megive you some more details. >> i would just do that now. ifyou have the ability to lower the amount of mosquitoes in the area that are likely to havethe virus, i would probably
just do it. i am sure it is expensive. >>of course, but who cares. thatis where our taxpayer money should be used. miami, santa rosa, they are all counties thathave been affected by this. >> so, nine people have beeninfected. all of them are travel cases. they went to an area thathad it, got infected, then they came back. that is what theysaid it. you can go around questioning the government as
much as you want. they wouldn'tsay if three of them have gotten it because a couple of people came back and mosquitoes bitthem and spread to someone else. this cool thing about the virusis that it doesn't say in the body very long. as long as theyabstain from sexual activity, because it can be spread sexually as well ã± >>just keep in mind that this isflorida. florida is one massive swamp. stagnant watereverywhere. it is like a
breeding ground for mosquitoes.to tell people of 40 to avoid getting bitten by mosquitoes isunreasonable. >>it becomes even more than thatbecause of a tester to spread than we might have to have someversion of what many countries in latin america are doing andasked him to abstain from having children for a couple of years.i don't know exactly what they are going to do. it seems likeit is likely to spread it. it has spread across huge populations. i worked incalifornia, and it seems to be
at least one of the mosquitoes breeding grounds. but it will probably begin tomove into areas that had previously not lived in. >> i am actually pretty worriedabout this. it could have a negative impact on society,especially if you tell society you can't have kids for two years. i don't know what kind ofimpact that will have. but i also worry because i am going tobe visiting to areas that are
impacted by this, mexico, and florida. >> so far florida is fine. >> i am going to miami, florida. >> if you are told for two yearsyou can have kids, and there used to be clinics in your area,or now they are hundreds of miles away, then some women will start to be affected. one silverlining, i understand that scientists all over the world,especially in america are
working on treatments for it thevirus. it is difficult to even test for it. it should start tohave as maybe pay more attention to the fact that zika has somepercentage of the kids born with the virus develop microcephaly.we have no idea what the number is. there know if it's 50 percent, one percent, .1percent. but i also know there are 100 other things in theenvironment that caused birth defects or develop mental problems that we don't test for.bp a absolutely destroys kids
and is still largely unregulatedand a lot of products. >>yes, it mimics estrogen. you see more and more girls whoare not even in their teens yet starting puberty. yes, there's all sorts ofstuff around us that is more harmful or poses a risk. >> i'm not trying to minimizezika whatsoever. but maybe the government can start to take it seriously enough for variousreasons they have not.
