A year out you might have been able to break out the London facilities.
AH yes. The always entertaining: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVl-6-A9ZO4
Teams won’t quit. They’ll joyfully carry the disease back home to the disgusting peasants they left behind.
Zika may not even be the worst concern. The waters themselves are badly polluted.
If I went, I’d insist on a disinfectant bath after the open water swimming events.
Yeah you dont want to be a aater sport athlete down there in Rio. Good God just swim in a porta potty, thats what its gonna be like.
Water, stupid tablet...
Zika is just a decoy
Don’t you remember a “certain somebody” lobbied really hard to get it to Chicago?
Well, I don't know about a "crisis", but it IS a problem, and it is bigger than I thought just a month ago.
It (the virus) looks to be more neurotropic that the other flaviviruses, and the speed that it spreads with the right vector is quite surprising.
Of course, the powers that be are desperate to avoid the public eye turning to vector control and/or border control, so there's a lot of thrashing about regarding "sexual transmission" and, of course, the Olympics.
But I do think we MAY have a largish problem soon in South Florida, along the Gulf Coast, and in Louisiana.
Time will tell. Unlike "global warming", though, this isn't a fraud.
Yep...........they all took AF1 over there. Didn’t Opra go too?
yep, I seem to recall Oprah going along for the AF1 ride ... and crowds amassed in Chicago awaiting the announcement ... SURE that no one would possibly ever in a million years NOT give The Won what he wanted. That was a fun day!
Some real good Schadenfreude there.
More (? — or just a different title w a little bit more...?)—
150 experts say Olympics must be moved or postponed because of Zika
Relocation might make sense, but it won’t do America any good, what with the illegal aliens swarming across the border at will.
The “payback” is now complete. After Chicago didn’t get the 2016 games (and the resident slumlord, currently housed in the White House, didn’t get her billions) because of their arrogance in not paying the required bribes and playing the Oprah, Obama, etc. race card publicly.
In addition to screwing the entire Southern US, the Zika outbreak was allowed to develop and spread to screw the Brazilians as payback for getting the games.
The faux doctor in charge of the CDC could have easily limited travel to and from Brazil and offered assistance in isolating and eliminating the spread of Zika. But the CDC and the US Gov’t piddled around for almost 2 years doing nothing and offering no help.
Additionally, the “socialist” gov’t of Brazil didn’t help as it wasted billions it didn’t have (remember Greece)!
Oh yeah.................forgot about the crowds. Yes fun day!
Thanks !!! Seriously, look at those SHOCKED faces. They couldn’t even imagine not getting the Games with the lobbying team they had.
Not only that, but it was also the first city to be eliminated out of the four finalists.
You would have to use a major university to get the venues and living quarters. However, class schedules being what they are, this is unlikely, even with adequate lead time.
