The Zika Virus Has Arrived In The Continental U.S.

The Zika Virus Has Arrived In The Continental U.S.

Federal health officials in the U.S. have warned pregnant women to avoid traveling to a neighborhood in Miami where up to ten more cases of Zika have been diagnosed, more than likely caused by local mosquitoes. According to officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), this marks the first time that people have been warned to avoid a certain U.S. community on health grounds. Four cases of the virus were diagnosed at the weekend, presumably spread by local mosquitoes. This has now increased to ten with the outbreak currently confined to a 1-square mile area north of downtown Miami. A CDC emergency response team is now being sent to Florida to help contain the outbreak amid fears of another locally transmitted case in Miami-Dade County, outside the neighborhood where the other instances of Zika occurred.

According to data released by the CDC late last week, there were a total of 1,658 Zika cases across the continental U.S. as of July 27, the vast majority of which were travel-associated. The ten new cases in Miami, coupled with four at the weekend, has brought the total number of cases locally acquired through mosquitoes to 14. So far, U.S. overseas territories have had to cope with a substantial number of Zika cases, some 4,729 in all, the vast majority of which were locally transmitted.

Hotel Market in Nigeria To Grow To US$507 Million By 2020 ~ PwC Outlook

The hotel market in Nigeria has not fared as well as South Africa with stay unit nights dropping 12% and room revenue down by 3.6% over the past two years.

There are a number of new hotels planned or under construction and we forecast an additional 4 700 rooms to be added in Nigeria during the next five years.

Human Trafficking is the Third Biggest Criminal Enterprise in the World

Fellow delegates, human trafficking is the third biggest criminal enterprise in the world.

As long as ISIS is selling girls for $165, and parents in Nigeria are left with nothing but bows and arrows to chase the terrorists who steal their daughters in the middle of the night, we will never have a just and good world. Because when women are held back, democracies falter.

~ By Honorable Amy Klobuchar at 2016 Democratic National Convention.
