Olympic Village is not changing its name to Illville. And there's no sudden population drop, either.
A few "isolated" cases of influenza have been confirmed at Olympic Village. But the story's circulating that athletes are moving out to find safer lodging.

"We've seen a few isolated cases, but with 3,000 people all together, you'd expect that," she said. "It's not a flu epidemic, and people are not moving out."

She said some athletes may have changed rooms because of proximity to someone who was ill.
