[ RF ] A group of expecting mothers become incredibly paranoid about exposure to the zika virus . Their efforts to remain safe become more and more over the top .

`` No, we cant just go to Alaska.'' said Hank, incredibly confused. 
 
 `` I cant stay here Hank! We need to get somewhere safe,'' Charlotte exclaimed. `` I just cant be here anymore, knowing that at any moment, our baby can be exposed to this- this zebra virus-'' 
 
 `` Zika virus.'' 
 
 `` -this Zika virus! It's all over the news. It does awful things to you Hank, it gives you a crazy fever, it can give you diarrhea, it can even pick you up ten feet in the air and slam you straight into the concrete.'' 
 
 `` Ok, no Charlotte, its a virus, it cant do that.'' 
 
 `` Are you even listening?'' Charlotte hugged her stomach. `` Dont you care about our baby?'' 
 
 `` Im sorry babe,'' Hank was not going to entertain this. `` but I am going to the airport and returning these plane tickets. Going to Alaska is not going to do us any good.'' Hank started heading for the door. 
 
 `` Of course it will, it'll get us away from the virus. Theres no Africans there. Its too cold for them.'' 
 
 Hank stopped. It was at this point he started to question some of his life decisions. `` I am sorry dear,'' Hanked turned back to face his wife. `` Thats probably one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. I am going to pretend I didnt hear it. I am going to go now, and I want you to forget about this Zika virus ordeal.'' 
 
 `` Hank, wait-'' 
 
 `` No, I am leaving.'' Hank ignored her and headed toward the front door. As he stepped outside he found himself face to face with a delivery man. 
 
 `` Hello sir! Just stopping by to drop off a package.'' The delivery man headed to the back of the truck and pulled out an enormous cardboard box. `` Your bubble has arrived.'' 
 
 `` Sorry,'' apalogized Hank. `` There must be a mistake, we didnt order anything.'' 
 
 `` No.'' The delivery man double checked his clipboard. `` It says 28563 Maple Avenue right here. That'll be $ 579.99.'' 
 
 Hank leaned back inside the door. `` Charlotte, what the hell did you order?!'' 
 
 Charlotte ran to the door. `` Is it here! Oh, thank goodness. I better get into it right away. Hank, would you give me a hand-'' 
 
 `` No. We cant afford this. What is this thing anyways?'' 
 
 `` It a giant bubble for me to live in to make sure I dont get exposed to the virus. I'll need you to cook for me.'' 
 
 `` It has holes for you to breath, it wont even do anything!'' Hank turned back to the delivery man. `` I am sorry, but you need to take this...'' 
 
 Hank became distracted by a truck dragging a giant vessel behind it. It pulled up to his neighbors house, the engine roaring as it struggled to move the payload. His neighbor stepped out of the truck. 
 
 `` John! What the hell is that?'' yelled Hank, absolutely bewildered. 
 
 John turned around, looking exhausted. `` Its a submarine. Karen is due in two months, we're going to be gone until this whole Zika thing blows over. Can you watch the house for us?''
