It's now being reported that the Zika virus targets neural progenitor stem cells even in adults. These cells are involved in learning, memory, and neural plasticity. Is Zika going to bring about the reality seen in Idiocracy?

http://newswire.rockefeller.edu/2016/08/18/zika-infection-may-affect-adult-brain-cells-suggesting-risk-may-not-be-limited-to-pregnant-women/

quote:

Concerns over the Zika virus have focused on pregnant women due to mounting evidence that it causes brain abnormalities in developing fetuses. However, new research in mice from scientists at The Rockefeller University and La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology suggests that certain adult brain cells may be vulnerable to infection as well. Among these are populations of cells that serve to replace lost or damaged neurons throughout adulthood, and are also thought to be critical to learning and memory.

What effect will this have on GBS? Will all of us be stupid, instead of the usual 95%?

Everyone with Zika report in with your retard poo poo posts.

A plague that makes people stupid, makes them have tiny brain babies, and hangs around in the sexual reproductive organs while being sexually transmissible is pretty much the perfect thing to wreck humanity.

I would say it's a good thing goons don't go outside or have sex, but, poo poo, even people who only go outside because their mom dragged them out the basement to take the garbage out still get random mosquito bites.

No laughing matter, imho.

All the people who went to the Olympics will return home and destroy mankind.

It might be a worse scandal than FIFA.

We should probably wipe out all mosquitoes that bite humans. Last research I saw, as far as anyone could determine, wiping out all human predating mosquitoes would have no impact whatsoever on the environment. Even conservation groups, and scientists, who are all for preservation of species, have gone on record admitting they'd be pretty OK with wiping out several kinds of mosquitoes, as long as DNA specimens were preserved. They kill more people than any other animal in the world, including humans themselves, even accounting for wars.

It's pretty rare to find an animal everyone is fine with wiping out, so we should probably go for it.
