On Nov. 20, 2015, the World Health Organization warned the spread of Zika virus in Brazil might be responsible for a surge in the birth of babies born with tiny heads and underdeveloped brains.On Friday, almost a year to the day from that first warning, experts who advise the UN's global health agency on Zika will grapple with the question of whether this most unusual of outbreaks still constitutes a crisis.It won't come as a huge surprise to the global health community if the experts tell WHO Director-General Margaret Chan that Zika, while still alarming, no longer meets the criteria for a "public health emergency of international concern," as its known in the agency's vernacular.
