It&#x27;s not the site. It&#x27;s the CDC. I can guarantee Brazil considers the CDC an excellent source as well.<p><i>I&#x27;m reaffirming that the statement is incorrect and they should travel down to Brazil to understand this matter </i><p>If you think the CDC and the WHO are not in Brazil, you&#x27;re mistaken. But let&#x27;s pretend you&#x27;re right that CDC doesn&#x27;t know what they&#x27;re talking about.  How about the Ministério da Saúde?<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;portalsaude.saude.gov.br&#x2F;index.php&#x2F;descricao-da-doenca-zika" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;portalsaude.saude.gov.br&#x2F;index.php&#x2F;descricao-da-doenc...</a><p><i>A febre por vírus Zika é descrita como uma doença febril aguda, autolimitada, com duração de 3-7 dias, geralmente sem complicações graves e não há registro de mortes</i><p>Translation:  <i>Fever by Zika virus is described as an acute febrile illness, self-limited, lasting 3-7 days, usually without serious complications and there is no record of deaths. The hospitalization rate is potentially low.</i><p><i>Segundo a literatura, mais de 80% das pessoas infectadas não desenvolvem manifestações clínicas</i><p>Translation:  <i>According to the literature, over 80% of infected people do not develop clinical manifestations</i><p>This seems to back up very well ceejayoz&#x27;s original comment, which you disagreed with: <i>pointed out these diseases can often present as a mild cold, for which you&#x27;d never go to the hospital. You may well have gotten them without really noticing</i><p>So, presumably you don&#x27;t think the Ministério da Saúde also have to travel to Brazil to know what they&#x27;re talking about?  There&#x27;s also all kinds of information on portalsaude.saude.gov.br referencing the CDC, the WHO, and describing the fact that the CDC has been in Brazil for months conducting research and field investigations.
