I have relatives in one of the South American countries effected by the virus, very worrying. Watched the news this evening and it was heart breaking to see the little baby born with the small head and the list of his possible disabilities was awful.

So far there does not seem to be much of an international effort to try to resolve the issue. Possibly because it is currently a third world problem.

Many members of GN have children and grandchildren in countries outside Europe and I wonder what they are thinking about this worrying news from S America.
