Summary

How is Japan supposed to host the world for the Olympics in two months despite only 2% of the population being vaccinated? And I'm only referencing the Japanese population. This is a global event and worldwide, Covid is still a major pandemic. Look at India, Indonesia, Brazil to name just a few. And they're going to field teams for the Olympics? What will that bring to Japan? What will those athletes possibly take with from Japan and bring home? Could the Olympics become a super spreading event of global proportion? Who wants to find out? The Japanese population at large, apparently do not as they have a petition circulating that already has over 300,000 signatures. So what to do? It's not too late to make a change in the interest of safety. But... will anyone make that call? We'll have to wait and see now, won't we? Learn more about your ad choices.
