The Zika virus and the Olympics

Some people are suggesting that this year's Olympics should be cancelled. The Olympic Committee says that if any athlete chooses not to participate, it won't be "held against them", whatever that means when it's many's life dream. The real danger to me seems like the huge amount of people from all over the world there to watch the Olympics, who would then return home, and potentially bring the virus virtually everywhere in the world in one fell swoop.

So... here's a thread to freak out about the possibility of the Olympics being cancelled, discussions on whether it should be held somewhere else (London seems to still have the infrastructure in place?), venting of anxieties of people who have tickets to the Olympics, or ranting of those who just want the Olympics to go on as normal... etc.
