I cant just get interested in these olympics. Loved London 2012 but with the huge time difference, drugs cheating/not being available, golfers pulling out I think it needs to get back to basics such as only being for amateurs. There is too much money involved and big business dictating everything. Might watch the occasional highlight prog but thats about it.

It is sad that these olympics will be the first in modern history that should have been canceled due to health concerns. Instead hundreds if not thousands of people will be infected by the zika virus. All for the sake of greed and politics. At least the russian team was whittled down a little in size. They may be mad for not being able to compete due to failure to pass drug testing, however at least they won't help spread a highly contagious virus.

Here in Florida I have watched the number of reported cases increase daily and as the virus continues to mutate and infect more people this is one micro pandemic that should of and could of been avoided.

I totally agree with you Easy. I read this interesting article - see the comments for points 3 and 4.

 

There was also a leading biological disease scientist over here on the news recently saying if there is one way to make a disease spread rapidly, it is to collect a load of people together, let just a few become infected, and then release them back into different parts of the world.

 

Zika will inevitably become another global disease crisis all due to the current Olympics.

The same reasons I will not watch it.
