51 days to go. Perhaps we can open some countdown thread? Don't know if @OlympicIRL is planning that.

 

Sure, I'll try to get something up by tomorrow then

I clicked, because I know the piktochart 

 

Are interesting considerations. One thing that has me a bit angry is sensationalism around the Zika virus in the international media. But I recognize that the host country will always be exposed to judgments, is part of the package.

Well, that sensationalism is particulary attractive to (spoiled) golfers.

Though I've personally wondered about it as well, I just think it's pretty serious, when almost 250 experts on health is worried. I can't help but being a bit myself.

But it does seem a bit weird that the experts aren't considering the amount of mosquitos during august and where the zika problems are worst.

Perhaps athletes who do not want to come to Brazil because of zika may also want to avoid drive a car  http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2016/06/03/480495630/does-the-olympics-in-rio-put-the-world-in-danger-of-zika 

 

Zika is a problem and requires precautions, but I consider disproportional the "terrorism" upon it.
