Good, they have way more problems than just Zika also. The Impeachment, the water problem (both the non-clean and the non-existent types), plus many other situations.

I thought about this a while ago.  Keep in mind the Olympics are being held in SH winter during the heart of the dry season well after awareness has become well established.  They will be deploying all kinds of mosquito control measures.

Most importantly, while temperatures will probably be quite pleasant and "summery" (70s)...there will be far less standing water for mosquitoes to breed in thanks to it being the dry season.

Postponing the Olympics will only push them into the wetter season and moving them is unfeasible.

It's going to be a massive massive clusterfyck isn't it? Still, people in Atlanta should be happy at almost their city certainly losing its status as the go-to example of a sh!t Olympics...
