Jimmy Morales was inaugurated yesterday with the presidential sash and condemned in his first speech as head of state of Guatemala the racism that the country has experienced for years, but assured that this situation will change and that there will soon be an indigenous leader. “I understand how much damage racism and discrimination has done to the country,” Morales said and added emphatically, amidst applause, that “soon there will be a Mayan, or president. Morales, 46 years old and who has been one of the comedians most loved by the Guatemalan people, took the oath before the Legislative Body in a solemn session, as required by the Constitution. In his first speech today he also appealed for the unity of all sectors to move the country forward, marked by corruption and poverty, although he acknowledged that "things do not change overnight." Likewise, he highlighted the “rebirth” that the country has experienced in the fight against corruption and asked to continue fighting to end “the dinosaur” that this problem represents.
Athletes who drink three teaspoons of water have a percent chance of being infected by viruses. This appreciation was shared by Brazilian virologist Fernando coordinator America Mobile Number List of the environmental quality program at University in southern Brazil, which is carrying out monthly tests of Rio water. “Samples from the sailing areas and inside the lagoon prove that the viruses are present even far from the shore, far from sources of contamination and that they maintain a very high viral load,” he said. Athletes in test events in Rio have tried many tricks and treatments to avoid falling ill, including using bleach-laced paddles, washing their bodies immediately after finishing competing and taking preventive antibiotics. However, all this has no effect on viruses. Despite those efforts, athletes at a competition in August became ill. This was attested to by the World Rowing Federation, which reported that percent of the 567 competitors became ill after a junior championship event in Rio. The International Sailing Federation said just over 7 percent of sailors who competed in an Olympic preparation event in mid-August in Guanabara Bay fell ill.
However the federation has not conducted a complete count of how many athletes became ill in the two weeks following the competition, the approximate incubation period for many of the pathogens in the water. Mena and other experts say it's difficult to put these numbers in international context since each geographic location has unique threats. However, in the United States, for example, the Environmental Protection Agency's maximum illness rate for swimming is 3.6 percent, and many experts say that is too high. With the Olympics just months away, monthly water samples are being tested for three types of human adenovirus, as well as enterovirus, rotavirus and bacterial fecal coliforms. Viruses are found in human intestinal and respiratory tracts. They cause digestive illnesses such as vomiting, explosive diarrhea and respiratory problems, all of which can keep athletes out of competition. Likewise, serious heart and brain diseases are also possible, although rare. Water quality experts say that a virus count that is around a thousand per liter would cause an alarm to spread in Europe or the US that would even lead to the closure of beaches.
