700,000 Puerto Ricans will be infected with Zika virus by December 2016…and U.S. Congress does nothing

Who cares?? After all, like the book says … “It’s only Chinatown”!! Sad …

WAR AGAINST ALL PUERTO RICANS

Over the next seven months, 700,000 Puerto Ricans will be infected with the Zika virus. That’s 20% of the entire island, at the rate of 100,000 per month. These figures were reported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

The CDC reported this in February 2016. The entire world heard the announcement…yet two months later, the US congress has done nothing about it. After this CDC report, Congress has not appropriated even ONE DOLLAR to prevent or treat Zika in Puerto Rico.
