From this article:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...new-zika-cases-a-travel-advisory-is-expected/
So, just to be clear, the reported cases of locally acquired Zika are approx. 220 miles from central Florida and the average mosquito will travel about nine-hundredths of a mile in its lifetime. There is a risk it will spread in Florida. BUT the counties in Florida have a much better program to contain and detract mosquitoes than the nonexistent program in Brazil.
As I posted earlier, my daughter frequently gets bitten by mosquitoes at WDW. Zika can be present in people without showing symptoms. There are large tourist groups traveling from Brazil to WDW annually. Connecting the dots, Zika can easily be introduced into the mosquito population at WDW, and can spread there.
