I've been hearing a lot of talk about the Zika virus. Is it a real concern?

It is a real concern, especially in countries like Brazil where there have been a large number of cases and deaths due to the virus. The CDC recommends that pregnant women avoid travel to areas where the Zika virus is spreading, and people who are concerned about the virus should take precautions such as wearing insect repellent and using condoms during sex.
