Fear And Panic Takes Hold As Zika Virus spreads Like Wildfire

A year ago the global fear and panic industry was working overtime to spread alarm about the West African Ebola epidemic. The news from a few poor nations on Africa's Atlantic coast sent US, European and Asian stock markets reeling ahead of an even sharper rebound (in other words the investment banks 'bought the dip' and then pumped up prices once people got over the fear that ebola would spread like a bad smell.

Today the head of the World Health Organization, fear and panic agency delivered a strongly worded warning when she said that the mosquito borne Zika virus that causes birth defects when pregnant women become infected, has been “spreading explosively” in South and Central America.

“The level of alarm is extremely high,” WHO director general Margaret Chan said Thursday in an e-mailed statement according to Bloomberg. Chan said she will convene an emergency meeting on Feb. 1 in Geneva to consider whether to declare the outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” which can coordinate government responses to direct money and resources at the virus. She added that the spread of the mosquito-borne disease had gone from a mild threat to one of alarming proportions.

Bloomberg adds that according to Chan researchers are working to determine the exact link between the virus and birth defects such as microcephaly, which causes babies to be born with abnormally small heads and potential developmental problems. “The possible links, only recently suspected, have rapidly changed the risk profile of Zika, from a mild threat to one of alarming proportions,” Chan told members of the WHO executive board in Switzerland.

One way in which the Zika virus is comparable to Ebola is that in both cases there is no vaccine and it could take years before one is available.

Another way the Ebola scenario could come back with a vengeance is that the WHO said that it expects the infection to eventually become common in the U.S. Travelers from countries with outbreaks have already been diagnosed on their return to America.

A report from Reuters confirmed this, when it noted that according to the WHO, the Zika virus may affect "between three million and four million people."
