Really an issue about where we travel and when we decide not to. Right now we're in an area where mosquitoes are carrying the Zika Virus. It's scary. Do we stay or go? What are our odds of contracting it? Even if minimal is that a chance we want to take? We certainly didn't travel to certain areas during the Ebola peak. I know people in parts of Texas who were very much in fear of mosquitoes carrying West Nile as a majority were in some areas. It's a unique virus in that most are not affected but it's apparently leading to a lot of birth defects and problems. Now we seem to have found evidence too that it can be transmitted sexually. The danger appears to be mostly to pregnant women and none of the women with us are pregnant.
That governor of Florida has declared a state of emergency with nine cases, all originating in the Caribbean. We are currently in the British Virgin Islands and warnings have been issued here. The CDC has warnings for the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. They are our next planned stops.
Well, at this point we're taking extra care to stay away from mosquitoes and using lots of repellent. It's certainly got our attention and we'll see what transpires the next few days.
