Researchers say the virus could be more prevalent in california because of the mosquito which carries the virus, so far zika has been spread by two species of the mosquito nate i have to brazil and other latin american countries. Experts say a common variety of california mosquito might have the potential to transmit the virus.

Anybody who is part of that group would have an Early Morning system. The Early Warning system is this, what San Franciscobased kinza called its smart thermometer, a thermometer that hooks up to your smartphone to store, remember and network your symptoms as they change.
