Zika Virus

The Zika virus is a sickness spread by mosquitoes most prevalent in South America, more specifically Brazil. This virus can make people achy and have red eyes, but people are very rarely hospitalized and almost never die from the disease. However, because it is viral, it never leaves the bloodstream. The main problem with this virus is that it can easily pass to the fetus of the infected person if they are pregnant and they tend to have defects like abnormally small heads. Due to wanting to prevent this disease, America has placed bans on traveling to certain countries. I think this is a wonderful idea. It is necessary for the governmental leaders to keep their people safe in order to have a peaceful and well functioning society. Nobody should argue against this because it is for their own safety, and also the total monarchy that America should be would not deal with arguments. The Zika virus is dangerous and therefore America should place bans on places that contain the illness.
