And the CDC, which has been helping Florida track cases and fight mosquitoes, is almost broke.
"Basically, we are out of money and we need Congress to act," Frieden told reporters.
"The cupboard is bare."
Last February, President Barack Obama asked Congress for $1.9 billion in emergency funds to fight Zika. Congress has resisted, with controlling Republicans saying they want more accountability for the money and saying health agencies like the CDC and National Institutes of Health need to find money left over from fighting Ebola and other projects.

If I lived in Florida, I would be very angry at the "Do Nothing" GOP Congress. So, Trump loses Florida in November, largely due to the lack of empathy of the GOP House.
I call bullshit! BO doesn't need congress to get 1.9 billion for the CDC, just like he didn't need them to get $1.7 billion to give to Iran for some hostages. Sorry sport, you've been duped.
