On September 14th, 2016, The Journal, The Guardian, Independent, BBC (and others) reported that Zika had been diagnosed in several people who had travelled outside of Northern Ireland.

Key quotes:

"It's unclear as yet if the cases are a result of UK athletes travelling to Brazil for the Olympic Games ..."

"Zika does not occur naturally in the UK,” the PHA said in a statement. Source: the journal

"The public health agency told the BBC that its policy is not to give the exact number of diagnosed cases if it is fewer than five, as it may identify those affected."

The Irish Times reported that when the health agency was asked if a person treated recently had been travelling to the Olympic Games in Brazil, the spokeswoman said she could not provide a response since the organization "does not talk about individual cases". Source: Irish times

Obviously, if similar "policies" are in place in other regions of the world, I doubt we will ever get an accurate picture of the Zika cases that were acquired because the 2016 Summer Olympic Games were held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

A September 7th post called Zika: Nigeria fails to monitor Olympic returnees confirmed: "Officials, supporters and athletes, who participated in the sporting events, said that health officials did not screen them at the airports on their return as was done during the Ebola outbreak."

Indian athlete Sudha Singh, who participated in the 3000 metre steeplechase at the Rio Olympics, gave blood samples to test for the Zika virus. Apparently, Sudha Singh and OP Jaisha were diagnosed with swine flu. And Kavita Raut was quarantined. (I could not find any firm diagnosis publicly posted about either Raut or Babar).

But on the condition of anonymity, I have been informed that hospital employees (in one of five Brazilian hospitals used by athletes and tourists during the Games) were instructed "do not record Zika" and to "write another diagnosis".

On August 28th, a Korean national who lives in Kaohsiung (a member of Taiwan's delegation to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro) developed a fever. On August 31st, he was hospitalized and reported as a "suspected case of Zika or dengue fever".

But Yan Yu-wen, a CDC spokeswoman, claimed the results of the blood tests indicated that he was not infected with either virus.

Keep in mind: the Trioplex assay failed to detect 40 percent of Zika infections and all four strains of dengue. And when I spoke to a highly revered scientist in Brazil, she informed me that she "had no idea" about Dr. Lanciotti's whistleblower case with the CDC.

Other notable suspected cases:

A pale-faced Shang Chunsong (team captain and China's No. 1 medal contender for the all-around event) refused to talk to the journalists after a training session.

Mao Yi, another member of the Chinese team, revealed that Shang was having a fever. Huang Yubin, head coach of the Chinese team, confirmed that Shang had been ill for three days and she was too weak to complete routines on the apparatus. Source: info barrel

Bottom line: There has been no virtuous effort made by our public health authorities to count, screen, track, or contain the global spread of the Zika virus.
