The World Health Organization, WHO, has reinforced its alert about ZIKA as a world emergency, and enlists everyone in the fight to curb and stamp it out. WHO has said in an earlier news alert that ZIKA affects mainly new born babies.
Observers are saying that Zika is in, and Ebola is out. They note that unlike Ebola that affects people of all ages, they ask about the cause of ZIKA which they say they hear affects mainly new born babies, and capable of turning the joy of having a new baby into sorrowful.
Obviously, everyone agree that no parent would wish to have a baby with a malformed head or brain, as the disease is said to affect the head and the brain of new babies. Any announcement from a doctor to a parent that a baby has ZIKA is noted to be capable of turning joy into sorrow. And people are saying that should not happen and that It should not be allowed.
All over the world, the birth of a new baby is known to be heralded with joy and not gloom. Information about ZIKA shows that it is equivalent of gloom, and people know that it is gloom to have a baby, whose brain is unsound.
News reports say that the gloom is already present in the some parts of the world and that it has already affected some innocent babies, and it is the reason that WHO is leaving no chances to acquaint the public of the seriousness and the need to protect these babies, who have no means to protect themselves.
Parents in some in some affected countries have been advised to slow down having new babies as a precaution against ZIKA. It is why observers has welcomed the WHO's declaration of the disease as a world emergency. Having babies is regarded in many cultures as family oriented,and people see anything against it as being against the world and unnatural.
Although already noted to be currently in some South American countries in an earlier WHO alert, a news report has said that some babies have also been found to have traces of ZIKA in the North America, and people are saying that every effort be made by WHO to restrict the spread of the virus to other parts of the world, while at the same time working to stamp it out in places, where its existence has been confirmed.
Just few months ago, Ebola rattled the world, when it exploded in West Africa, killing many people in countries like Guinea, Sierra-Leone and Liberia, and caused some countries to redraw the map of countries from where travelers were welcomed, while travelers from Ebola affected countries were screened before entry or told to stay away.
"We need to build a firewall against ZIKA," Senator Chuck Schumer has reprotedly said in the United States, according to a report in AMNewYork newspaper.The senator said the government in the country was late in its response to Ebola outbreak and that such should not be allowed to happen in the case of ZIKA..
