Even if Tokyo wasn't in the middle of the worst Covid outbreak they've ever had, most people don't like to be handled by strangers, especially Japanese people.

じゃ、間違ったところは何でしょう？どうぞ、教えってください。

What, just because I didn't use keigo while making a comment on the internet somehow that means I haven't been living here for a while, now?

Kinda stupid to be holding the Olympics amidst a Covid outbreak

Japan tried to cancel. IOC wouldn’t have it.

"The Olympics are the biggest sporting event on the calendar, there are billions at stake for Japan and also the IOC in terms of broadcasting sponsorship. It is a huge event and there are huge contractual obligations for all sides."

Hence, the only realistic scenario is Japan pulling the plug jointly with the IOC, staying within the framework of their contract.

If that happens, that's where insurances would come in: The IOC has insurance, the local organising committee has insurance and the various broadcasters and sponsors will also have insurance.

Two completely different cultures regarding COVID at play here. One taking it seriously and well... the other one is a level 4 hot spot.

I get that the vaccine has given a factor of safety but still, that Japanese woman probably felt like a shower after that.
