Thanks for the ping. The Olympics in Brazil start in a just a few weeks and I’m afraid Zika will spread like wildfire.

I share your concern
The Olympics are an international competition, and thus could spread internationally.
While Viri readily mutate, the Brazilians have already reported 1600 infected pregnant females.
I believe the Brazilian to be a genetic variant, and perhaps the worst disease at the wrong time, at the wrong place.
If it is a localized Brazilian variant, this is the wrong time to have international travel.
Much better to be safe ,..than sorry.
