Current Event "Health Related Issue"

A current event is the Zika Virus.  It's becoming a worldwide epidemic because of it's connection to neurological brain disorder that results in babies being born with abnormally small heads, and for it's rapid spread across the globe. It is  estimated that about 3 million to 4 million people across  America will be infected with the virus in the next year. Researchers are working hard in order to  try and create a Zika vaccine. Also there is no treatment or cure available the only protection against Zika to to avoid traveling areas where the infestation is taking place.

Reflection:
The issue could potentially affect me in the long run, because of the fact that this epidemic is spreading so vigorously. By the next year it is estimated to grow about 3 to 4 million, imagine if the vaccine is never produced the numbers would sky rocket and the infestation will only continue to spread.
