THE ZIKA VIRUS IS RAMPANT.

THE KUHNS REPORT

CALIF: Hello America, and how is the world treating you?


The horrific Zika plague- running rampant in places like Africa, Southeast Asia and Central and South America is now playing havoc in the Unites States. And, my views is, it didn't have to be this way. It appears the U.S. is always a day late and a dollar short.

I submit that if the U.S. would have attacked the Zika virus in cooperation with other countries when it first reared its ugly head and then took specific action against this terrifying threat, our country would have been much better off. Instead, what did we do? Officials said, "don't worry about it," it's nit in the U.S., just don't travel to countries where the virus is. Then, when  some people did travel to the infected countries and  returned to the United States, carrying this dreaded infection, some government officials told the country that the cases were isolated incidents and there was nothing to worry about.

But,Zika  cases broke out in Florida and what did the government people say? It's only  in the area of "one block." Tey warned people not to travel to that block. Ir wasn't long until the bureaucrats told the people of Flordia that the  Zika virus was only in a one-mile radius zone, so no big deal, don't worry. They told people to stay away from the one-mile area.  Hell, the virus kept creeping further and further and finally, the officials  became concerned. Can you believe it? Then these same state and government people started pointing fingers of blame using the old worn out phrases: "We could have, or we should have. They played the ol' could-a , should-a  game.

Why is it our incompetent government officials nearly always fail to take action at the onset of situations, but instead allow bad things to occur and then after the fact, play arm-chair quarterback trying to explain what should have been done, in the first place? That's when all the so-called experts and talking heads hit television and start spouting gobbly-goop.

How many times have you heard government officials, politicians and  groups tell the Amercian people: "We're taking this action so  an occurrence like this will "never happen again?" But, guess what people? It always happens again --doesn't it.

I would estimate that at the present time there are about 3,000 cases of this mosquito-borne illness across our country, and growing larger each and every day.

Remember, this mystery illness that shrinks infants brains in-utero actually causes a myriad of defects in the baby. There is no prevention against the virus,  The only way to hopefully avoid this scary virus and avoid infection is having our dumb-bunny bureaucrats tell everyone: "Avoid traveling to any infected areas, avoid mosquito bites, and to wear condoms when having sexual intercourse.

Now, I bet the rush is on to find a vaccine. But again, I would say that if, and when, the Zika virus was first discovered and the healthcare researchers were actually on the ball they could have tested monkeys, rodents, and other primates to have possibly had a vaccine in tge bucket well before this horrendous visus hit our shores.
