- When the WHO stopped calling it a public health emergency, that was actually a bad sign. They meant it was no longer a temporary thing – Zika is with us for the long haul and has to be budgeted that way, not from emergency funds.

- Five babies have been born in New York City since July with Zika-related brain malformations.
