Today I read an article about how there were new cases of the Zika virus transmission found in Miami Beach. The exact  location of where the Zika Virus is spreading is called Miami- Dada County. Three of these new cases were travelers visiting the beach for vacation. The Governor of Florida, Rick Scott, reached out to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention for Help. He then announced that they will provide the public with the information that they need when it is needed. Because of this, the press is blaming Rick Scott for keeping this information hidden in order to keep a steady flow of tourism. This relates to government and politics because it concerns the health and well being of citizens. Also, the people of Florida have a right to know everything that is going on in order to prevent themselves and their children from contracting this disease.
