For the scientifically challenged among us, Zika has the potential to cause a massive number of birth defects and do damage to a very large number of lives. It's a scary story because of the potential considerations for anybody looking to get pregnant and travel to South Florida or Central America.

Researchers don't currently have a great understanding of the illness, how it causes the birth defects, how to detect it often enough, and how to prevent transmission.

It's not the number of problems it has caused so far that matters, it's the potential for the number it could cause.

Gun violence in Chicago is daily life. There's no news story there. What changed? Why is it different? So why would it be a big headline?
