Most people that get infected with the virus actually never even get sick...I think it's around 1 in 100 or more that is causes serious problems for, most maybe get a slight fever or almost nothing.

I believe that is one of the bad problems with it, that a whole lot of people get it, never does a thing, then they get bit by a mosquito and it eventually gets to someone it is going to hammer....spreads all over because of that.

Not real sure of the immunology of it and if you can get it once with none or little reaction and have some immunity after or what.

Either way, I know it gets in an area and once it does, it's hard to get out because if there are 1,000 people who report being sick with it?...there are 50,000 people that have it and don't know it...or more.

Hope your cousin gets better soon man and has no lingering issues because of it.
