Relating to Tennyson's observation about tourism, did anyone hear that the WHO has been advising people not to visit several Caribbean islands ................ Jamaica pops into my dome.

I correct myself, it was the CDC.

Jamaica joins the list of equatorial countries that have confirmed cases of Zika virus transmission - triggering its inclusion on a list of countries federal health(U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) officials say pregnant women shouldn't visit.The South Pacific archipelago of Tonga has been put on that list as well.The virus, which in most people causes only a mild illness lasting a few days, is now suspected of causing a birth defect that impacts the infant's brain. As a result, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says even women who are merely considering pregnancy should avoid travel to most of South and Central America, as well as most destinations in the Caribbean.

This could wind up being a nightmare for certain countries that depend on tourism.
