Is a difficult outbreak, biggest issue is that it has been considered a very mild illness until recently. The extent of this current outbreak means it is likely to spread to other areas very easily. Many countries have the Aedes vector present so is possible this will become widespread quickly.
Urgent action to reduce mosquito populations in affected areas essential, however the response from the Brasilian Health Ministry prior to the Olympics not very reassuring.
