Tokyo Olympics ... [no foreign fans] [no fans period]
I'm not sure why this isn't a bigger issue. How are the Japanese explaining this?
The "official" explanation is that most spectators at baseball and soccer games are local people. The spectators at the Olympic venues would come from all over Japan. It would create more movement of people across Japan.
Of course, it makes no sense. But people don't care. They just want to stick it to the arrogant global elites.
If the OG's get cancelled totally in the next 3 days, will Conor Dary be the happiest man on the planet ? lol
That's so stupid it is hard to know where to begin. Like asking a weatherman who predicts a hurricane if he is happy it came....this whole fiasco was predictable if you 10 minutes looking each day.
BTW I'm the only one here that went to everyday of the Trials... where were you supposedly great fans?
Having the Olympics during a pandemic, in an unvaccinated country, is nuts..
They could delay until September....but TV says no...so there you are.
Actually, 22.5% fully vaccinated, 34.5% at least one dose. But carry on...
22%....I'm sure that will stop an outbreak... the worse state in the US has 30% fully vaccinated.
For unvaccinated,
coronavirus is soaring again
An analysis of adjusted rates for cases, covid-19 deaths
and hospitalizations shows the country’s summer upswing
is slamming the unprotected while others enjoy freedom
Coronavirus cases are increasing almost exclusivelyin the unprotected population. So The Washington Post adjusted its case, death and hospitalization rates to account for that — and found that in many places, the virus continues to rage among those who have not received a shot.
