FYI
Back in January, President Obama “convened his top advisers to formulate a proactive response to this epidemic, which has spread across the Americas,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest detailed in a presser today.

In February, the administration formally submitted a request to Congress for $1.8 billion. These funds would be used “to rapidly expand mosquito control programs, accelerate vaccine research and diagnostic development, enable testing and procurement of vaccines and diagnostics, educate health care providers, pregnant women and their partners, improve epidemiology and expand laboratory testing capacity, improve health services and support for low-income pregnant women, and enhance the ability of Zika-affected countries to better combat mosquitoes and control transmission,” according to the White House.

It’s April 12th, and Congress hasn’t authorized the “emergency funding” yet.
