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".

The Zika virus is rapidly becoming the HIV of our time. The difference is that instead of killing you, it just kills your chance of productive procreation. I think the not cancelling the Olympic games in Rio is going to seen as the tipping point for the Zika virus because with so many infected hosts, it's going to mutate into germ-line ending monster that spreads far and wide. Seems like mother nature is solving the human overpopulation problem on it's own terms.

Why would that happen?

Why would "mother nature" think or care that there is a human overpopulation problem?
