Lifestyles was the condom of choice in Wake's Health Services bowl when I was there.

Yup, and they were effective, or the ol "Thinkpad heat on the balls" was effective. I guess I'll find out which soon.

Fuck. It's a g-d plague. The upcoming generational wave of microcephaly is scary as hell. This feels like it's happened so fast. We were more worried about Ebola than this.

Weird isn't it? There was so much unfounded fear about Ebola compared to an STD that can also be transmitted by freaking mosquito and causes permanent damage to fetuses.

And the GOP is stalling because they don't want the country's most affective reproductive health organization to be involved.

We'd rather let everyone get Zika than Obama get a "win"

Not that weird. Zika can't kill me, Ebola can.

Thank God it only impacts fetuses. You think it will ever impact humans?

Yes, it also impacts those capable of survival outside of a human female womb

Is this the end?

Is this the end?

Not yet. Potential vaccine moving toward clinical trials, and two potential drug targets (specifically, proteins that may be responsible for causing microcephaly) just identified.
