All kinds of political/civil unrest. Violent protests in the streets. President is about to be impeached. Economy is in a major recession.
Now people are saying the Olympics are going to set off a 28 Days Later.

I'm a huge Olympics fan, but I think I'd have to wait for the next one.

Rio Olympics could spark 'full blown global health disaster', say Harvard scientists

The 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro could spark a “full-blown public health disaster”, doctors have warned.

Since the Zika virus was first identified in Brazil in May 2015, the disease's spread through Latin America has been declared a health emergency by the World Health Organisation and the number of suspected cases in Rio is the highest of any state in the country.

The continued presence of the virus ahead of the summer Olympics has caused athletes and health specialists to question the risks involved in allowing the Games to go ahead with hundreds of thousands of spectators travelling to the city.

Writing in the Harvard Public Health Review, Dr Amir Attaran said the Games could speed up the spread of the virus, and suggested the Games could be hosted by another city in Brazil where the illness is less of a threat.

He said: “While Brazil's Zika inevitably will spread globally, given enough time, viruses always do - it helps nobody to speed that up.

"In particular, it cannot possibly help when an estimated 500,000 foreign tourists flock into Rio for the Games, potentially becoming infected, and returning to their homes where both local Aedes mosquitoes and sexual transmission can establish new outbreaks.

“All it takes is one infected traveller, a few viral introductions of that kind, in a few countries, or maybe continents, would make a full-blown global health disaster.”

With less than three months to go until the Games begin on 5 August, it is unlikely the continued presence of the virus will cause officials to take drastic action.

However, the warning will be yet another blow to Brazilian authorities, which are already mired in a string of controversies that have undermined confidence in the country’s ability to host the Olympics.

Brazil is currently grappling with steep economic decline, while a continuing presidential impeachment attempt alongside the country’s largest ever corruption scandal has caused national outrage.

Elsewhere, severe water pollution problems, the collapse of a new cycle path resulting in the death of two people and frightening reports of gang violence in upmarket shopping areas have fuelled scepticism about the suitability of Rio to host the Games

counter and book a ticket for Salvador or Recife.

June-July, Salvador and Rio for about 5 days and 1.5 weeks each. But I bail on the big cities for stretches for

Usd is strong
The impeachment seems to be exposed more and more each day as a witchhunt. Not that that would stop it from happening.
Apparently more than half of Congress is under investigation for various fraud charges. It was funny watching them all scream into the mic how badly they want prez impeached tho

The Olympics itself have proven to be a net loss and leech on the host city tho. Takes the cities years to dig back out the hole

So Brazil could have told ioc to help or kick rocks

A witchhunt on Rousseff? Hardly. She done ran the country to the ground. All in the name of "the people."

That would be a HELL NO!!!!

of course I'm not counting the basketball stuff in the olympics

The weirdest thing about Americans is their dislike of 'soccer'. Especially considering how much y'all love bizarro rugby.

Brazil already had 20+ of the 50 homicide leading cities in the world

I'd go to Brazil, just not during the Olympics. I'll sit on the beach in Natal and sip fruity beverages.

All those protests that have been on TV have been white Brazilians......wait until the silent majority shows their ass...and its going to happen during the olympics....
