As of this week, Zika has firmly arrived here in Singapore, with 56 confirmed cases. We can add that to the list of mosquito-borne worries, including dengue fever. I really feel for expectant parents. These must be scary times. Medical researchers are on it, though. With some luck, their efforts will promptly produce results. Never forget that we are living in an amazing time in human history when this sort of outbreak can be addressed quickly by scientific endeavor.
