Are you wondering what the   CDC warnings on Zika virus mean to the average traveler?  Probably nothing at all.
 
Sandals Resorts & Beaches Resorts have informed us that all of their resorts remain totally Zika Free, and that almost all of their English Speaking Caribbean Islands are ZIKA FREE.  See the image to the right provided by Sandals for quick review.  
 
In areas that have reported case(s), the concerns are for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.  It's the "planning to become pregnant" that can be scary for some.  But if you dig a little deeper,  that means that women who have traveled to the areas that may present a Zika risk should wait 5-7 days before trying to become pregnant when they return home.  
 
You can read more about the Zika Virus, it's symptoms and treatment through this link to the CDC webpage.
