Zika Virus likely will be more serious to humans than AIDS in the 1980s

Why is this true?

The primary reason this likely is true is this is spreading quickly to ALL tropical areas on earth fairly quickly. And in the summers it likely will also move towards semi-tropical areas on earth as well. Since mosquitos do best where it is humid, wherever it is warm enough and humid enough it likely will spread.

And the logical solution to this would be for humans to eradicate mosquitos everywhere on earth.

However, doing this could be a worse disaster for humans in the long run because we don't know how many species of birds and other insects would go extinct who eat mosquitoes. Also, we don't know how many other types of species we would drive extinct by the methods of extincting all or most mosquitoes.

Also, we don't fully know yet how many other types of problems Zika Virus can cause people besides Zika Babies who are pinheads who will need care the rest of their lives worldwide because they will never be functional adults ever.

So, in addition to being a heartbreaking nightmare around the world for new mothers it is a disease that will also debilitate workers who may not die from it with various kinds of paralysis.

As an intuitive I was dreaming about all this last night and fully realized that Zika will be more dangerous to the survival of the human race than AIDS was in the 1980s or now because solving the problem of Zika also could theoretically cause the extinction of the human race or at least in the short run extinct many different species of insects, birds and possibly other animals (including humans) as well.

I think a good way to look at Zika Virus is to see it as if AIDS and Polio were in the same disease and it was the 1940s and early 1950s again. This might make the most sense.

I will put both AIDS from Wikipedia and Polio from Wikipedia up at this site so people can think about this and to better figure out what kind of response to Zika the human race will plan for in the short and long run.
