...maybe yes, maybe no....the announcement does a LOT to increase their funding and stock value...I am dealing with Zika at my place...looks researchers may have just found that it mutated (again) a couple of weeks ago...and they think it mutated to two new and separate generations instead of just one...hey it's a virus, it want's to live, survive and thrive...this could be a tough one.

What could go wrong with that???  Idea's like this usually end up as cheap movies on SYFY.

first reported case in Ontario

CDC is linking it to GBS

Two confirmed cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome linked to the Zika virus have been reported in the U.S., health authorities told TIME on Thursday.

The link between Zika and the birth defect microcephaly has received much attention. But health experts are also concerned about the link between the virus and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a condition where the immune system starts attacking the body’s nerves, which leads to weakness that can eventually result in temporary paralysis. In some cases, the disorder can interfere with breathing.
