The Washington Post has a nice state-by-state breakdown of Zika in the continental US. It separates out "travel-related" cases and "local" cases and has links to each state's website with local information regarding the virus.

There are 7,360 confirmed Zika cases in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [as of Aug 3, 2016]. This includes 1,817 cases in the continental U.S. and 5,526 cases in the U.S. territories of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa.

The first local spread of Zika virus through infected mosquitoes in the continential U.S. occurred in Miami, Florida in late July.

takyon: Reuters has a timeline of Zika-related events. Bloomberg reports "Florida Shudders as Zika Spread Forces Miami Shops to Close". The Sacramento Bee reports "Two babies born in California with Zika-related severe birth defect".

    Shut the fuck up, donnie.

    That should be:

    Shut the fuck up, Donald!

    Donnie was just out of his league, an easy mistake to make. This is a case of the Donald being out of all leagues, the bowling league, the Justice League, the Little League, the League of Billionaires who actually are billionaries, the League of men with hair, the League of Men With Hands that are not Too Small. In other words, out of all leagues. Leagueless. Non-league-able. Cannot not find a mate the is within a league. No leagues under the sea. The Donald. Shut up, Donald. Lest you demonstrate how small your hands actually are. Tiny hands.
    Hands too small for his head. Hands that telegraph his negotiating position. Discriminatory hands. Male chauvanist really small compensatory hands. Out of your league, Donald: some of us have actual penii.
