Zika Virus Requires an Urgent Response
The World Health Organization must coordinate a broad international response to the spread of the virus.The search for a vaccine can be funded.
Mosquito control can be funded.
The dynamics of microcephaly can be studied.
I doubt the link between microcephaly and Zika virus.
Zika has been endemic in Africa and South Asia without
extensive microcephaly.
