YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Florida Governor Rick Scott recently acknowledged that cases of Zika have been found in Miami Beach, Florida. Cenk Uygur, Jimmy Dore, Grace Baldridge, and Josh Zepps, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"Local cases of Zika infection have been found in Miami Beach, Florida Governor Rick Scott said Friday, which means the virus has spread beyond the small neighborhood that health officials had hoped to contain it to, and has infected one of South Florida’s largest tourist areas.

The spread of Zika by local mosquitos had been confined to one spot just north of downtown Miami, a one-square mile area in the Wynwood neighborhood. But health officials on Friday said at least five people were infected by Zika in Miami Beach, in the heart of the city’s restaurant and nightclub scene. Of the five infected, three were tourists, and two live locally. Almost immediately after Scott and health officials released the news, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its traveling warning.

The new updates said pregnant women and their partners should not go to the two affected areas, which now include a 1.5-square mile area on the island city of Miami Beach, which spans from Eighth Street in the south to 28th Street in the north. The CDC also cautioned pregnant women from any unnecessary travel to all of Miami-Dade County.”*
