The Ugly Truth of the Tokyo Olympics.
1. Japanese player gets gold every month by keeping him awake with corrugated cardboard bed
2. Eco-friendly corrugated paper and Fukushima contaminated water discharge
3. Corrugated cardboard supplier is Prime Minister Abe's brother
4. Filled with water from the Tokyo Bay Yacht Stadium - Japanese players have already adjusted
5. 100% responsibility of participating athletes in case of corona confirmation - Japan has excellent technology and hygiene, so there is no problem with quarantine at all.
This is Japan, the host country of the Olympics.

Yesterday the number here was 3, 738 new cases. Getting higher and higher each day. People are worried.

As the reporter said at the end, the whole thing could be called off if Covid cases increase a lot, something very possible at the least, even likely.
If that happened, calling off the Games would be even more costly than if they were postponed or cancelled earlier, and a lot of time and effort and the travel to get to the Olympics would have been totally wasted. Moreover, the reputation of the IOC and Olympics will, to put it mildly, be very severely damaged for years, maybe decades, especially as it would be appear the IOC would rather risk people’s health and lives than not to hold an event that could always be held later when it would be safer to do so. I know making money is very, very important but is the health of people not more important? Surely it must be.

I am Japanese. Even before the opening ceremony, the Tokyo Olympics have failed. By the way, the number of people infected with coronavirus in Tokyo is the worst since 2019. Infected athletes and officials are also infected every day.
