the Zika virus for some reason reminds of the zombie apocalypse which so many movies and TV show seem to focus on SGT (Join to see). I know that the Zika Virus is a threat and not a zombie maker but it seems strangely appropriate. :-)

Another good reason to stay away from third world countries, except, now it's here. Are we turning into a third world country with our open arms policy?

SGT (Join to see) - In Puerto Rico a US Territory, Several Cases in Florida and now a Sexually Transmitted case in Texas. Yee Haa!. Appear to have originated in Africa but really took hold in the America's Continent.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel, All it takes is a few travelers getting bit, and presto, the American Continent has an infectious crisis building up, again.

Seeing those children born with microcephaly (Pinheads) is the scary/sad part. Hope we are quick with a solution otherwise we got a serious problem.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel, One never knows what they are walking into, if they are infected by some of the nasty mosquitos throughout the world. Especially in third world countries, until it's too late. Look at what the Legionnaire disease did before it was known what it was and how to handle it.

SGT (Join to see) - No they used to be called "Pinheads" in old Carnivals the heads usually were more slopped in the front. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlitzie
Schlitzie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schlitzie (alternatively spelled "Schlitze" or "Shlitze"; September 10, 1901 – September 24, 1971), possibly born Simon Metz,[1] and legally Schlitze Surtees, was an American sideshow performer and occasional actor, best known for his role in the 1932 movie Freaks. His lifelong career on the outdoor entertainment circuit as a major sideshow attraction with Barnum & Bailey, among others, made him a popular cultural icon.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel, I've always thought those side show attractions with deformities, is one of the cruelest things, besides slavery, has been done to mankind. Back in the 50's , at our small red neck town, there was a Fair held annually with rides, games, etc. They had "freak" shows also. One of them I will never forget, which I didnt see because I was too young, was a female morophodite, and a deformed baby in a pickle jar. Those idiots were morbid.

SGT (Join to see) - I'm with you. I really don't see the appeal but plenty of those affected did succeed with their own unique niche manage to do pretty well for themselves.
