Brazil has sent more than 200,000 troops to go 'house to house' in the battle against Zika-carrying mosquitoes, blamed for causing a birth defect epidemic that is spreading rapidly across the world.

Zika Virus ping...

Maken the health care thing WORK for them....
P.S. Hep.....ALL imigrants..and ALL children are vac.....But almost none of the white middle class.....wonder how that works?
What could possibly go wrong?
Trump will shut the border to mosquitos! Yes we can!
“Trump will shut the border to mosquitos! Yes we can!”
I hope so, for your sake, or your statement may come back to bite you, literally.

‘Zikavirus’ is an empty key word.
Better to simply type ‘zika’.
You hope that Trump can close the border to mosquitos. Gotcha.

Yep. Toss in Malaria and Dengue Fever for good measure. There are other diseases like West Nile Virus, and who knows what else?
