Pau Gasol to consider freezing sperm to avoid Zika

For some athletes, the drive to participate and represent their country in the 2016 Summer Olympics has been overwhelmed by the fear of getting Zika virus in Rio this August. “I don’t want to get Zika and have to wait an additional year, or whatever it may be”. The World Health Organization projected that approximately 2,500 babies would be born in Brazil with microcephaly if the current trends of Zika infection were to continue.

The committee issued various recommendations to Brazilian officials and said authorities should intensify mosquito control measures and “ensure the availability of sufficient insect repellent and condoms for athletes and visitors”.

Ernie Els remembers his 1994 U.S. Open championship at Oakmont Els returns to the course for the 2016 U.S. Open this week.

The mosquito-borne virus, which has spread across much of Latin America, can lead to severe birth defects in babies.

The risk of colonisation (digestive tract carriage) of multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae should be considered for all travellers, irrespective of whether they have contact with healthcare facilities while in Brazil, during the three months following their return from Brazil.

The experts declined, finding “no reason to decrease travel to these areas”, Heymann said, adding, “The risk of global spread is not a significant concern”. “It’s still up in the air, obviously. See you in 52 days”.

However, Spieth said he was satisfied by the information given by the PGA Tour.

“We will collaborate not just with words, but also with financial (help)”, Brazil’s acting president Michel Temer told reporters at Olympic Park on Tuesday. “It is not sufficiently great an extra risk to justify cancelling the Games”. There’s a lot of trophies and things to play for before that. “Many athletes are thinking about starting families and in Brazil there are a million and a half people affected [by Zika]”.

After the Olympic and Paralympic Games in August and Septmber, the development will be converted to luxury condominiums. Hopefully, WHO accurately predicted the low risk of the Olympics magnifying the Zika virus. “Hopefully, by then, the threat’s settled down, and we can go”.
