I wonder if Wikipedia search should have some enhanced capability to help
people who perform searches like these. There may be ethical and legal
limits to what Wikipedia should provide in the way of "medical advice", but
I think if our search tool gets queries like the ones mentioned in that
article, Wikipedia Search might suggest to people that they contact their
local emergency services rather than try to do self-help via Wikipedia.

Dear all,
I am trying to stimulate the communication of ongoing research around
Zika and have set up a mailing list for this purpose. So if you need
expert input while editing on Zika-related topics, consider channeling
your requests there.
Thanks and cheers,
