Zika Figures Likely Underestimate Extent Of Virus, Some Experts Say.

reported that “some public health experts say” that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s “first official attempt to publicly track Zika’s grave effects on pre- and post-natal health,” should have “occurred much earlier in the outbreak, and will fail to provide an accurate snapshot of how the virus is affecting pregnancies in the U.S.” Critics say underreporting of Zika in the US has probably already occurred, especially “in poorer communities that have limited access to health care, or are serviced by medical centers that are short-staffed with limited resources and without an effective electronic medical records system.” http://www.newsweek.com/cdc-underestimate-birth-defects-microcephaly-zika-virus-471828
