Scott blackmun tried to address questions and doubts in a memo to perspective olympians. He said the organization is working with the c. D. C. And Infectious Disease specialists to closely monitor the situation, but no matter the preparation, he wrote, there will always be risk associated with international competition. An official with the rio games Olympic Village will be air conditioned, and venues will be inspected daily to remove standing water where mosquitoes might breed. The population of the mosquito that carries zika goes down significantly in the cooler, dryer months of august and september, when the games will take place. The main worry is the suspected link between the virus and microcephaly, an unusually small head at birth. That link has been strengthened within the past day by reports both in brazil and the united states. The virus has now been found in the placenta of mothers who miscarried and the brain tissue of newborns with microcephaly who died. I spoke with an official from the Rio Olympic Organizing Committee today and asked, are there any thoughts of canceling or postponing the olympics or it is full steam ahead, and he said, full steam ahead.
