FINAL PROJECT PROPOSAL: Magnus Opus and Exigence > What you want to know about Zika Virus
F,
Revise your audience to think primarily on young women. Most of the serious risk is carried by women, regarding pregnancy. You can, though, think about men too. Men who are sexually active should think about this exposure, out of abundance of caution for their partners.
I would narrow the geographic focus to some locations. Vacations blow the locations wide open, as in all of the equator, right? You can have a section on this, surely.
Everyday risk: We do need to think about warm, temperate areas like Florida, Texas, and even up the East Coast to DC.
One important service you can do, is to curate the best sources on the web: CDC, NIH, and even those websites that are trustworthy. Be sure to look at the Wikipedia entries also. I can give you some credit for editing those entries. Ask me about this aspect of your project.
