NEW YORK -- The upcoming Olympic games are not likely to have a major impact on the spread of Zika virus, although four developing countries could face a substantially higher risk, according to a new government estimate.U.S. researchers tried to calculate whether the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, which is in the midst of a Zika epidemic, will lead to outbreaks that wouldnt have happened otherwise. The danger is that infected travelers might be bitten by mosquitoes after return to their home nations, which would potentially spread Zika to other people and spark an outbreak.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 19 countries that currently do not have Zika have the right conditions for outbreaks if it is imported by people returning from the Olympics. But in only four of the 19 countries is the issue considered substantial: Yemen, at the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula, and Chad, Djibouti and Eritrea in Africa.CDC researchers made their predictions based on a range of factors, including air travel patterns between Brazil and other countries and the presence of a tropical mosquito that is the main way Zika spreads to people.The four nations at greatest risk from the Olympics generally have no or very few travelers to Zika outbreak countries. Only a dozen to several dozen people are expected to travel to the Rio games from each of these countries, but those small numbers represent a notable jump from regular traffic volume to outbreak countries, said the CDCs Dr. Martin Cetron, one of the authors of the report.That doesnt mean health officials are predicting outbreaks in those four countries, Cetron added.The Olympics are happening at a colder time of year in Rio, when mosquito activity is at a minimum. If people take precautions against mosquito bites, these four countries could be spared Olympics-related outbreaks, he said.The Olympic and Paralympic games are expected to draw an estimated 350,000 to 500,000 international visitors and athletes from 207 countries. But health officials say that travel this year will account for less than 1 percent of international travel to Zika outbreak countries.Last month, the World Health Organization rejected calls by some to cancel the summer Olympics, saying there is a very low risk the Olympics will accelerate the spread of Zika around the world.The new CDC report seems to confirm that assessment, said Justin Lessler, a Johns Hopkins University epidemiologist who focuses on computational approaches to predict the spread of disease.I think the most important result highlighted in this paper is how insignificant the additional risk of global Zika transmission caused by the Olympics is, Lessler said, in an email.Earlier this year, the WHO declared Zika a global emergency after seeing an epidemic spreading through Latin America and the Caribbean.In most cases, Zika infections cause, at worst, mild symptoms that disappear within a week. But the WHO declaration was driven by a link between infections in pregnant women and the development of severe brain-related birth defects in their fetuses.Health officials have advised pregnant women to avoid travel to Zika outbreak countries, including Brazil while the Olympics are taking place.Zika can also be spread through sex, and health officials are advising condom use and other precautions for travelers.---Online:CDC report: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr Cheap Baltimore Ravens Jerseys China .1 million pounds ($61.2 million) on Saturday, giving the beleaguered English Premier League champions a major lift.

Cheap Football Gear .Y. -- Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers had no intention of changing his hard-hitting style before taking part in a disciplinary hearing for his illegal check to New Jersey forward Dainius Zubrus head. DENVER -- The Broncos defense kept Tom Brady in check. Now, theyre trying to do the same with their frustration.What little hope Denver has at salvaging its playoff chances after a 16-3 loss to New England on Sunday is clearly dependent on a defense that, stellar as it may be, simply cant win games on its own.This year is not a repeat of last season, when the Broncos (8-6) rode the defense all the way to a Super Bowl win.This version of the Denver defense keeps getting betrayed by everything on this team -- a fumbled punt by returner Jordan Norwood, a costly interception in the red zone by Trevor Siemian, an offensive line that struggles to run block and receivers who have trouble holding onto the ball.Frustration? It was barely disguised after the latest loss knocked Denver out of a playoff spot as it stands with two games to go.Yall see what has to get changed, cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. Im not going to speak on it too much.No need to. It was glaringly obvious between a Patriots team gearing up for a Super Bowl run and a team whose title defense could be over before the playoffs even start.Denvers D held Brady to 188 yards passing and no passing TDs. And the only touchdown the Patriots (12-2) mustered almost didnt happen. Dion Lewis fumbled on the goal line, only to recover it. A play later, LeGarrette Blount barreled into the end zone to give the Patriots a 10-3 lead.These days, given the offenses struggles, a seven-point deficit feels like much more.We felt like we played almost good enough defense to win that game, Harris said.Standing in the way of any potential conflict is Von Miller -- the keeper of the peace in the locker room.Theres not going to be any friction. Im the partition, Miller said. Its just a tough loss. Its hard to accept it, especially when you put so much in during the week and knowing what this ggame means to us, our organization and our fans.dddddddddddd Weve got two games left. Im not going anywhere. Ill be ready to go.Still, its a long shot, especially going to Kansas City on Christmas Day to face the Chiefs. The Broncos have historically not played well in Arrowhead this time of year. They close the season by hosting Oakland on Jan. 1.Im not really thinking about the playoffs. Im thinking about going to play Kansas City, Miller said.The frustration is understandable. The Broncos have allowed a grand total of three touchdowns over the past three weeks.Their record: 1-2.Thats not going to take us nowhere, being frustrated and beefing with the offense, said cornerback Aqib Talib, who pushed Norwood after his costly fumble in a loss last month against the Chiefs.This time, when Norwood fumbled, Talib walked past him. The Broncos defense bailed him out by allowing only a field goal.But Norwood isnt the only problem.Demaryius Thomas had two big dropped passes -- including a long pass down the sideline -- and Siemian was intercepted by Logan Ryan.Frustrating, no doubt, especially early, Siemian said. We were moving the ball really well and dont have any points to show for it.If someone wouldve told Talib that the Broncos would hold Brady to 16 points and they still wouldve lost, his only response wouldve been: You lyin, he said.The cold, hard truth.Brady began 0-for-6 passing, which ties his longest drought start a game in his career. He was held to a passer rating of 68.2 (in contrast, Siemian had a 73.1).You cant get us down, man, Ward said. Were the best. Cant beat us. Were the best. Keep working until we get those wins.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
