Imagine athletes from poorer states take it back to their countries which don&#x27;t have good healthcare infrastructure and it becomes an uncontrollable epidemic there.<p>A very real possibility of Half a Million people taking the virus back to every city on the planet and all they are saying is we&#x27;ll use mosquito repellents near the stadiums and hotels and everything will be fine.<p>I understand that there&#x27;s alot of money and sunk cost at stake for Brazil and IOC but it their adamance over this is dangerous.
