I'm watching the strongest, healthiest young people from all over the world congregate in a city with garbage and raw sewage in the water, bad housing conditions and which has an epidemic of the Zika virus from the mosquitoes. Chances are very strong that this virus will be carried all over the world when this Olympic Game ends. This virus can be transferred by sexual relations by people who don't even know they have it. By next year, we could be seeing babies born all over the world with massive brain defects. The 2016 Olympic should have been postponed or had an emergency change of venue in order to prevent a world health crisis.

The CDC has just told people to stay away from an area in Miami. Oxitec's Genetically modified mosquitoes were released to fight Dengue fever in 2012 in what became the epicenter of the Zika outbreak in Brazil. So it's just a coincidence that 1.5 million people are now Zika affected. Relatively little testing was done & 0 long term studies were performed to access safety. Did you hear the news about plans to release genetically modified mosquitoes in Florida? Look how that worked for Brazil.

I agree that the Olympics should never have been allowed to be held in a bankrupt, disease ridden city that hasn't even paid it's police or public workers in months. Stupidity by the elite or a monstrous plan for more world chaos?

Kayaker capsized by hitting a submerged sofa, pool water looks soupy, bathrooms collapsing with water flowing down stairways and ceilings, armed robberies, gymnast broke his leg. Not a good start.
