The Spanish influenza pandemic of 1918 was kept quiet for reasons of morale, so no one took simple precautions, and thirty to forty million people died worldwide.
No-one is saying that you need panic over Zika, but just by removing items in your garden that hold standing water you would keep mosquitoes away from your house and help break the chain.
