It should be considered, dont know if it makes sense but the pros and cons should be weighed and respected international health organizations should weigh in.
Overall though, think given the fact the facilities have not been fully constructed, the Brazilian government is on the verge of collapse, and the risks of being a major disease vector is plausible...
Should definitely consider delay or moving
- zodPod 10y agoI've thought this too. They pick some of the weirdest places to try to host this stuff. I guess they're trying to bring the areas up or something but if the place can't handle daily life what makes anyone think they can handle a big event like this?

- icebraining 10y agoHow is Rio a "weird place"? They're in a bad situation right now, as any city with an outbreak of a virus and with a political crisis would be, but it's major world metropolis of 12M people with plenty of international business visitors and a GDP of 200 billion USD. They accommodate 900k tourists during Carnival alone.

- marcosdumay 10y ago> the Brazilian government is on the verge of collapse Don't believe those news. The government will change today, nothing will collapse. There will be some roads closed (until the police gets there), and some brave discourses on the media, and that's all. The government attempt a coup Monday - everybody just carried on.
