Summary

Tokyo alert. I've said it before and I'll say it again. These Olympics should have been postponed again. Japan is surging in Covid cases, many of the countries are surging in Covid cases, even the United States Covid situation is very delicate.

I'm not a fan of this sort of risk, then again, I'm not an Olympic official. Am I alone in this concern or would you agree? Let me with a tweet, a comment on line or on YouTube. I think it's crazy stupid. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
