Puerto Rico Declares Zika Emergency

Great! Just in time for a trip to Puerto Rico, a state of Zika emergency is declared. I can only hope this means the beaches will be empty and the touristy spots less crowded. I'm not pregnant... so here's hoping for no Guillain-Barre syndrome!

From breitbart.com: “The situation doesn’t look good right now. We already get calls from people asking if it is safe to travel to Puerto Rico, considering the economic conditions. If you combine this with the CDC’s advice, it could certainly influence some people not to travel,” commented Justin Vélez-Hagan of The National Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce. He said it would likely be several months before the data was available to determine how much Puerto Rican tourism had suffered from the Zika alert.

I'm not cancelling my plans...
