Answers:

I read up on it too and it said that the virus has mutated which means that it could travel from person to person. especially being a high fever viral infection. They said that it is transferred by mosquitos. If some one has it I would cover your mouth and nose with some type of mask or something just to be safe. wash your hands constantly. don't drink after anyone. b/c you don't know exactly how this is being transferred.
