Prosecutors say Richard Oshields killed toby mathis back in 2011 as an act of revenge. At the time, mathis was charged with Involuntary Manslaughter in the death of oshieldss son.

That can lead to problems with, you know, mental development, longterm health consequences. And so, there has been a concern, but i have to say, there is no proof yet that the virus is the cause of this. They are actually just started studies to look for this. Concern that this virus, as you said, transmitted by the mosquito, could be passed from persontoperson in certain circumstances, right . Right. There have been some reports and one in the United States of sexual transmission of the virus from a man who was infected and then passed it on through sex to his partner.

It could potentially get here. People are concerned. We need to be aware. Right. So, most people actually dont have symptoms. Only one out of five people who are infected twopage symptoms.
