Dr. Jon lapook has been reporting all week from ground zero of the outbreak in brazil. Reporter here in brazil, donated blood is not yet tested for zika virus. Instead donors are asked if since 80 of people with the virus have no symptom, selfreporting misses most infections. In brazil the virus is predominantly spread through mosquitoes, but in the United States, nearly all the reported cases are imported from travelers. Thats why the major blood banks say people should not donate blood if they have traveled in the last 28 days to mexico, the caribbean, south or central america. The director of transfusion medicine at u. P. M. C. If the deferral will take care of the great majority of the risk, so i think by far the benefits of transfusion would outweigh the very small risks of an infected unit. Reporter there is a test called p. C. R. That can detect zika virus in the blood, but its not government approved in brazil or in the United States where about 21 Million Units are transfused each year. We keep the virus here frozen. Reporter researchers zika closely at this laboratory in brazil. Technology to do. This we need to make sure we have solid results. Reporter theres nothing really stopping you from testing every blood transfusion for the presence of zika virus . Yeah, true. Actually. Reporter if mosquitoes in the u. S. Get infected, travel bans alone would not be an effective screening method. If that happen, testing donor blood for the preds accident of zika virus would be considered.

Reporter clinton suddenly finds herself in good company. According to an internal state department review, two of former secretary Colin Powells personal emails also contained classified information, as did account of top aides to his successor, condoleezza rice. Most of them i think are pretty benign. Reporter like clinton, Lauren Powell exclusively used a personal account as secretary of state, though he emailed far less often. In a Statement Today he said the two emails in question were from my executive assistant and forwarded messages sent by two of our ambassadors to state Department Staff members. I have reviewed the messages, he said, and i do not see what makes them classified. The Clinton Campaign happily press secretary brian fallon. This is an example of overclassification run amok. Reporter the state department announced last week that 22 of clintons emails which sat on her private server for years are being reclassified as top secret, one of the highest levels of classification, higher than the secret and confidential designations given to the powell and rice emails.

These emails that have been judged top secret are completely wrong. We want them released. Let the public see them. Reporter f. B. I.

Pelley nancy cordes with the Clinton Campaign. Nancy, thank you. Today in the water emergency in flint, michigan, the e. P. A.
