Working for the TOKYO OLYMPICS 2020 / 2021? | IT Manager

I worked for the Tokyo Olympics 2020 / 2021 as an IT engineer manager. Working for the Olympic Games is a child's dream, and since I was in Japan I got this unique work opportunity. Venues need PCs, monitors, networks and other technological equipment for their broadcasting services to stream the event all over the world.
As an paid olympic worker, not volunteer, I got a look behind the scenes and experiences first hand, what it means to prepare an olympic venue for Games time. Thousands of computers need to be installed in Tokyo Big Sight, the big expedition center that hosts OBS, the Olympic Broadcasting Service. We also made installations in other venues such as the Ariaka Gymnastics Hall, the Equestrian Park in Setagaya, the new Olympic Stadium in Shinjuku, the Government Building in Shinjuku and even Narita Airport.

Let me know if you think it is reasonable to continue with the Games as it is planned now, if the IOC should cancel the games, or if the Japanese Government should refuse to host the games?

Shoutout to my co-workers and friends at the Tokyo Organising Olympic Committee.
