Ally Bongo Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Its been about for a while. The pandemic started in 2007 but you are right - it's exploded only recently in South America. Dont know fvck all about viruses but it seems a protein within it may have changed which has made it more serious Worrying for the Rio Olympics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 do you think we're only hearing aboot it because it's the Rio Olympics this year? Being cynical you could definitely think that ...along with it now affecting white people But i think it's more to do with the microcephaly aspect which wasnt recognised before seemingly because in the areas where the pandemic had already taken hold there wasnt a lot of cases in pregnant women arising at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 It's going to be interesting this Summer here as the Winter we just had must've been the warmest ever on record meaning larvae would not have been killed off by the cold. The mozzies are brutal usually and they seem to love my blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariokempes56 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 You do sort of question some of the dafter conspiracy theories now though.Are we yet to see developed a virus which only targets a racial type ?

Ormond Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The yanks are shitting themselves as it will probably reach some the southern states by this summer. It already has. A dozen or so states have had it confirmed already and it's cold just now. Wait until the fuc'kers start hatching in the warmer weather.

Orraloon Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35478778 Midges can't save you now I don't think this is new. I am fairly sure they knew it could be transmitted sexually about 20 years ago. Although most folk weren't too bothered about it at the time.

bonzo Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 A pregnant woman in catalonia has contracted it she's just returned from Colombia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I think there have been 10 confirmed cases in Spain so far. They have all recently returned from South America. There could be a lot more unreported cases though, as the symptoms can be so mild that folk don't even know they have got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
