&gt; I live a longtime in Rio and never had Dengue, Zika<p>Don&#x27;t be so sure about that. Most people who contract both of those don&#x27;t know that they have them as the symptoms are so mild they are mistaken for a simple cold.<p>But no, it&#x27;s just racists pretending that diseases can spread.<p>You can relax anyway, there is too much money to be made by those running the games in Rio to have it canceled. No one actually cares if people get sick.
