The Olympic gods must hate Brazil, this is the worst possible time for them to be holding them. Another year or two and a vaccine would probably be out.

ukle posted:The issue is though that there has been no cases of babies born with microphaly who have been linked Zika outside of Brazil, yet. As to why this is, is unknown at this time. Its led to questions of what is different with Brazil, is it just greater incidence of Zika or some other factor. Until a link is found or cases of microphaly with Zika outside of Brazil there will be scare stories with I believe no factual basis e.g. that it was being caused by GM mosquitoes released in Brazil to fight the Dengue virus. I've heard that the microcephaly numbers for Brazil pre-Zika were probably massively undercounted compared to the rate in countries like the US, so the microcephaly increase probably isn't nearly as extreme as it looks. However, Brazil's current number of microcephalic babies is still apparently abnormally high, even taking that into account.
