Document Summary
Great association to microcephaly however there is not yet a known causation (we pretty much know but we don"t have solid proof) Only affects fetuses during development (smaller heads, shorter life expectancies and neurological damage) Note that not all of these must be met (like number 8) but they should be in order to prove the relationship. Food specific attack rate will be done in our assignment: number of ppl who got sick over number of ppl who ate it. All of these are x/y (x=numerator, y=denominator)! Food item didn"t get them sick, they got sick from fecal oral transplant of a person who is already sick) (could also be any person who touched, slept with, shared a meal with, etc. a person with ebola) Ill divided by total gives you the attack rate. This one would be 18 divided by 1000 (times 100 to get the percent) = 1. 8.
