911 operator: "911 what is the nature of your emergency?"

Caller: " There is a woman here bleeding to death from the Zika virus"

911 operator: " Sir, I don't believe the Zika virus makes you bleed to death"

Caller: "It does if you gives it to me!"

Our "specialist" say if you have a good health, it will be like having a flu for about a week.

If you are pregnant or having a bad health then this Zika, could as any type of influenza be dangerous to you or in the Zika case be dangerous for the woman who's pregnant.
