The current population of Puerto Rico is 3,600,000. One in 4 means that in four-and-a-half months, 900,000 people will be infected with the Zika virus ... The possibility of almost 1 million human hosts being able to enter the U.S. in the coming months is a five-alarm fire. It’s Armageddon if something dramatic and effective isn’t done at once ... with over 900,000 hosts for Zika, there will be quadrillions of copies of the virus, each and every one potentially a mutation.

I made the comment to my wife this morning, regarding the "non-travel-related" Zika cases in Miami Beach, that they're saying there's no crisis and no spread of the virus, despite having 36 cases now, up from 4 last week.
[sarcasm] Sure. No spread. [/sarcasm]
"[A]ble to enter the U.S. . . ." Puerto Rico IS the U.S., every bit as much as Texas or Nebraska. Has been since 1898. (Okay, it's not a state, but neither is D.C.)
The Zika virus is another disaster in the making being ignored for political reasons. But that doesn't mean we should write off or ignore a section of the United States.
