The Tokyo Olympics, which was scheduled to be held in 2020, has been postponed and will be held from July 23, 2021. Will the Tokyo Olympics postponed by the coronavirus really be held? Is it realistic now that the government has repeatedly declaring a state of emergency?
I think the Tokyo Olympics should be canceled because it is not realistic. The government will soon decide whether or not to include spectators in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics. 4.8 million tickets have already been sold. If they include an audience, the risk of coronavirus infection will increase. Also, it costs a lot of money to prevent coronavirus infection. On the other hand, without the audience, the risk of infection is reduced, but economic development can not be expected. I feel that there is no merit in either case. However, if it is canceled, based on the contract, Japan needs to pay compensation as a breach of the host city contract. I think this is a global issue. Everyone in the world should help each other because it is a difficult time.
Today, the book issues a state of emergency mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area. At restaurants, time saving requests are made and the provision of alcohol is prohibited.
On may 28, 2021, while the new entry of foreigners was suspended to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, 1649 people from the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games and athletes entered the country after April, of which 1432. It was revealed that people were exempt from the two weeks wait that the government requires of immigrants. I can not understand why the Olympics are treated specially.
I saw an article that the talent Masa Takahashi was commenting on a TV show. IOC President Thomas Bach said "Everyone has to make some sacrifices to make their Olympic dreams come true. Athletes can definitely make their Olympics dreams come true." In response she said "I think the dreams of Olympic athletes are really important, but there are many people who have come to their dreams, whether it is business, restaurants or entertainment, and have been sacrificed by this coronavirus. You can not just give special attention to the Olympics. " I was very impressed with her remarks. Many people closed a store and changed their course due to the coronavirus. They all had dreams but had no choice but to give up. Athletes will also have dreams. It is all the same but why are athletes's dreams prioritized? Though some people have a hard time living.
It is only one month before the Tokyo Olympics, but the coronavirus will not end. More people's dreams will be lost if border measures are not taken thoroughly. I think the state of emergency issued by the government and the lives that people have refrained from will be wasted. People should have a more sense of crisis and work together to overcome this problem. I hope that the number of young people who are worried about the future will decrease and they will be able to regain their daily live,
