Bring in food from the outside

Would even that help? The food would have to be stored, prepared, and served.

I wouldn't want to be there. Flu and other illnesses have been a problem in many countries this year. People bring with them different strains and not the built-up immunities they might need to fight unfamiliar diseases. Who knows what germs could come in with North Koreans and their isolated population? Add to that mix that the Olympics are described by some as a giant hookup for the athletes. Another factor....will athletes mask symptoms, thus spreading disease, so they don't have to drop out?

I'm being a regular Debbie Downer. A few years ago, I was on a transatlantic cruise which was on the edge of having to declare a Norovirus outbreak. Crew and cruisers went through a real strict routine and got educated on how easily Norovirus and other shared diseases such as Legionairre's can spread so easily in environments with a lot of people from diverse environments in close quarters.

Sounds like there is URGENT NEED for more port-a-potties over there. Gives more meaning to Trumps “comment” but then I understand SOK is a lot different than NOK when it comes to creature comforts. Let the “games” begin!
