Prof David Heymann, chair of the emergency committee, stressed that the most serious issue was not the Zika virus itself, which causes a mild illness, but the microcephaly cases in babies. “Zika alone would never be a public health emergency of international concern,” he said. “It is not a clinically serious infection.” For that reason, he said, it was a very difficult decision.

Even for women who aren’t already pregnant, contraception is hard to come by in these countries. According to the World Health Organization, 18% of births in Latin America are to teenage mothers, and Amnesty International estimates that more than 50% of the pregnancies in the region are unplanned. “They don’t have access to information, they don’t have access to contraception, and they don’t have access to the option to terminate a pregnancy,” Demant says, noting that contraceptive use among Latin American women is among the lowest in the world, and that emergency contraception is often expensive and difficult to access, if not illegal.

Frankly, I think the world could benefit from this disease spreading some more, if it would reduce human fertility with no other side effects.
There's no indication that Zika affects human fertility, either in the mother or the microcephalic infant.

Pretty soon the Religious Reich will be telling American women "don't abort your microcephalic baybeez! They make such wonderful loving companions!"
Isn't that what they say about Down's Syndrome kids?

I'm worried the virus will mutate into something more lethal, there's already been deaths reported . But imagine a worldwide moratorium on breeding for a few years, at least in developed countries. Think of all the industries it would affect.
