Olympic opening ceremony is not started yet until tomorrow but we already see new covid cases everyday.

"cases" with no consequences for the affected. Only Numbers from a PCR test which always turns positive, if you crank up the numbers of cycles enough.

87 positives out of over 30,000 tests. 0.3% at worst. Meanwhile in Tokyo…

Now that most of the ingredients have been added into the pot, they just have to set the range to ‘simmer’ and “Tokyo’s Olympic Summer Stew” will soon be ‘ready to serve’ to those in the populace not yet fully inoculated.

You do realize that most of new cases in heavily vaxxed countries are fully inoculated, or were you unaware of that?

And @WilliB 4:25pm,‘You’ do realize that @4:20pm reference was to Japan’s populace that has NOT been fully vaccinated, …
… or were ‘You’ unaware of That *?

The official response of the IOC and co: repeat the words "safe and secure" like a broken record.

So will they be the "2nd" and the "3rd" athletes to miss their events after the Chilean announced yesterday as the "1st". Although there seems some to have been other athletes who tested positive earlier who must still have been allowed to compete!

But, but , but Bach promised safe Olympics and we were told that the Olympic village is safe!!!!

But our great leader said in Wall Street Journal interview that he thinks Tokyo covid situation is at right place and in control right???

Hmmmmm, When all those athletes go back home and start spreading the New Olympic variant all over the world! And all those volunteers bring it home with them... We won't know for 10 days till it hits us. And then what are you going to do? pass on the blame on to someone else? Find some scapegoat to take all the blame while you are laughing all the way to the bank with your $3 billion to $4 billion?

Zero Risk

Zero point three risk, from the Olympics to Japan.
For the Olympics from Japan, it’s a different story.
Once again, since July 1st there have been 87 positives (out of 20,000+ tests) related to the games, and some…what, a bit over 50,000 positives in Japan over the same period, despite wildly under-testing, meaning probably closer to 3-400,000 including asymptomatic (most athletes are actually asymptomatic and wouldn’t even be tested and found in any other area of Japan).
