Forget about covid covid is the last of y'all's worries China and Russia is what y'all need to be worried about is the world games the world will be watching at that moment that is when China will make it to lose y'all need to cancel the Olympics in Japan
Y'all need to be very careful in Tokyo Japan this is not going to be good for the region or the South China Seas War that's about to happen China is expecting this to come just so we can have something great to pop off on and the Olympic Games is the biggest target Japan needs to be heavily guarded with military presence * 300000 if it is not it will be struck by China perhaps Russia and more the South China Sea the southern part of it used to be guarded * 300000 do not ignore these signs it is coming I seen this in a dream y'all better listen
Maybe the Tokyo Olympics will become the Tokyo pandemic.

"I wanted no part of politics. And I wasn't in Berlin to compete against any one athlete. The purpose of the Olympics, anyway, was to do your best. As I'd learned long ago from Charles Riley, the only victory that counts is the one over yourself." – Jesse Owens
World want to see 2021 Tokyo Olympic persevere to press on to its opening ceremony, light up the torch, have games play forward, athletes to compete to their best of ability and fairness of officials and judges, grabbing audiences across the glob. wolilnyeon
I'm not watching. It's been to much for to long. Good luck team but Im ✆🇺🇸
I love the olympic.

tough decision for tokyo to continue this olympic, but only tokyo can make things possible.this is for the athletes of the world so let's just show support instead of criticizing and hating.
And here on Europe cup we have 70 000 spectators sitting right to each other without any face masks…
The Olympics for the Corona Virus? Japan's medical system is in the worst state, and the level of quarantine is the lowest. Also, Japan's use of Olympic athletes for political purposes is terrible. They plan to promote food from radioactive regions. Currently, the US, UK, Germany, Korea, and China are declaring that they will not participate in the Olympics… It's a meaningless Olympics.
Tokyo Olympics= Covid 19
Disqualify berry rule 50
Ruler :
50% or max 10.000 local spectator can see this event at Venue. Just 50% or max 10.000 in one competition.
Let's see Japan…
I have always loved watching the olympics above any other televised sports, but I will not watch one event this year due to the negative politics. I love swimming, my favorite sport. But, I do not love it more than I love America. I will not sit and watch people disrespect our country and push misguided agendas during sports. I don't mind watch politics on news networks, but I do not need it mixed with sports.
It won't happen, the new Delta variant, will unfortunately see to that.
Indian athletes will travel with Delta Airlines
Tokyo 2021 will be the crappiest Olympics in the history.
Japan is so selfish.
They only care about making money.
Hanoi Hilton in Tokyo Olympics. You sleep on paper box and eat Fukushima radioactive foods. LOL
I think going to Japan to participate in the Tokyo Olympics can be very risky.
I heard in the news that food made with ingredients produced in Fukushima, where Japan is highly likely to be contaminated with radioactive substances, will also be provided to athletes participating in the Tokyo Olympics. If it were me, I would not go to Japan.
And I heard on the news that Japan made a decision to discharge radioactively contaminated groundwater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea.
But I think that if Japan builds a passage that diverts the groundwater flowing into the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea, it will be able to stop the groundwater flowing into the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Finally, I think the Tokyo Olympics in Japan could further accelerate the spread of the Covid 19 delta variant pandemic. With that, a sufficiently conceivable scenario is that the Covid-19 Delta variant pandemic will begin to spread among Japanese and people visiting Japan for the Tokyo Olympics.
What a great way to spread the new variants around the the World quickly. Thanks Japan! You did such a good job with Fukushima.
OK, I still think this is a bad idea to host the Olympics in the middle of a pandemic. That said, fortuitously, at least it is Japan, probably the cleanest and most organized country in the world, and not:
1. China — your gold is cancelled, you have CV19.
2. England — the UK variant
3. Brazil — the Brazil variant and Brazil being Brazil
4. USA — we will NOT wear a mask!
etc….
30 days to go before Tokyo Olympics will start next month
Japan has no control over COVID. And the government hasn't contained the virus. The vaccination rate is so low and slow. New strains of virus will erupt and many people including athletes will suffer and even die. They should prepare lots of body bags. Sadly, this is the truth. The nearby cities won't help the sick because they are too busy to deal with their own medical trouble.. And the government is so helpless. For the sake of athletes's life and safety, this Olympic should stop. The people living in Japan knows this. That's why they protest in front of the city hall. I don't like Japan because they had done so many horrible things in the past and till now. But every life is so precious. So, God help us and stop the madness.
One of most stupid nationality in world
Japan is a strict country. I dont believe an outbreak will come out of this
Sending best of luck to Japan
Covid 19 Olympics
