"Japan To Declare State Of Emergency Weeks Ahead Of Tokyo Olympics: Report"

Pretty much means Olympics will be held without specters.

Could it mean the Olympics, at this late date, will be canceled? I'm curious whether the government will finally just tell the IOC to **** off and say, we're not doing this.

"Japan expands virus emergency after record spikes amid Games"

The 3 urbanized Tokyo suburbs of 埼玉(Saitama), 千葉(Chiba), 神奈川(Kanagawa) plus 大阪(Osaka) are all under the state of emergency due to COVID-19 spike.  Officials say this surge is not related to Olympics but the optics are not good.


Hopefully some government, somewhere, indicts the leadership at the IOC for refusing to cancel the games during this pandemic.
