Frankly, there are bigger ongoing health and public safety concerns right now. I'd be more worried about the drug situation, mass muggings on the beaches and in the city (arrastões) and general crime levels, the fact that most public hospitals are bankrupt / closed / running with absolutely inadequate supplies and personnel and dreadful infrastructure. Hell, I'd rather catch Zika than row in a water that is basically slightly diluted raw sewage.

I wouldn't say things are running exactly smooth here, but either the authorities are handling the current carnaval well (which is a good way to stress test security and health services) or are putting a hell of a kibosh on huge problems. From the look of it, there's no major problems, apart from the usual rapes and drunken beatings to death. Besides, even thought I'd rather see the billions already spent on education, job creation and health instead of a giant corrupt, corporate jingoistic orgy, the deed's basically done so.. I guess it'll be just like the World Cup: a huge cash influx for the ultra rich and hotel chains, good ol' crippling debt burden for the rest, no big deal? And there probably won't be much opposition to it since it's pretty local compared to the Cup and the gubmint did its homework since the the 2013 protests.
