Obama:
Zika mosquitoes already in U.S.
President Obama ratcheted up his call on Friday for more funding to
prepare for the Zika virus, and warned that mosquitoes carrying Zika
already exist in the continental United States.
"As all you of know, there has been an enormous spread of Zika through
Latin America, the Caribbean and Puerto Rico. We have not yet seen
cases that were transmitted on the continental United States, but we do
know that the mosquitos carrying the Zika virus exist on the
continental United States," Obama told reporters in the Oval Office
Friday.
