Google has donated $1 to Unicef to help stop the spread of the Zika virus. The virus affects to a large number of babies born with underdeveloped brains in Brazil. Last month, the World Health Organization declared the Zika virus as a global public health emergency.
Google engineers are working with Unicf to analyse data, to determine how to map and anticipate the virus. They have also updated its search engine to display more information about Zika for visitors to the US and other countries.
This virus is in the same category of importance as Ebola. The difference is that in Ebola the researchers was focused to treat patients and prevent transmission and with Zika the attention is on understanding the virus' link with microcephaly.
My opinion:
All the illnesses are disturbing, but more if its affects on the babies born. Always appears new illnesses that we didn't know about it. This is not the main problem, because the world and the ecosystem are changing a lot and it's normal that appears new illnesses. The really problem is find a cure.
