One big health issue we have going is the zika virus this health issue is bad it can affect babies  and the way you can get the zika virus is through Aedes or Aegypti mosquitos. If infected 1 in 5 people will become ill. No treatment or vaccine is currently available for this virus. If you do become ill then it's usually mild and rarely causes death. Symptoms can be fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (RED EYES). President Obama has given $1.8 Billion to emergency funds like to accelerate vaccine research and diagnostic develop, and rapidly expand mosquito control programs. Even though the zika virus is not deadly to older people, to pregnant ladies and babies are it's really dangerous what it does is it shrinks the baby's head the circumference is 31.5 or 32cm at birth.
