Zika was a epidemy that affected mostly Brazil infecting 100.000 people. It killed 6 (SIX) people during almost one year of epidemy.
There were players at time that didnt have the courage to admit they wouldnt travel to Brazil due to Zika. But it was obvious that was the main reason.
Feliciano Lopez didnt came because of the Zika virus. And now wants to organize a whole tournament during Corona.
Isner is giving nicknames like coronabros, but feared more a moskito with a less letal disease than people with corona.
Thiem didnt came also, but Im not really sure about him
Zverev didnt came due to corona, but went to Adria tour.
I remember Kyrgios not coming, but at least he doesnt seem to want to play now.
Just like Halep who skipped Rio and will skip this USO.
Federer was injured after Wimbledon, but before that he was afraid to come.
Raonic also feared. I doubt Raonic will skip this USO if it happens.
Karlovic, Dolgopolov and Tomic also feared Zika.
So, is this a big prejudice with 3rd world countries or what? What "changed" on the minds of all those hypocryte players?
I think its fair to fear Zika. But its strange to fear Zika and not fear corona.
