Good idea, now that the number of cases is going down.

Too bad these beds weren't used for home-bound sick people instead of healthy athletes back when the case numbers were rising.

But hey, perhaps this can be marketed in future tourism:

Why not turn the entire Olympic Village into a makeshift hospital for Covid patients since hospitals are full to capacity?

Completely unsuitable for anyone requiring nursing care. You cannot adjust the height, raise the back or elevate the legs. Proning a patient would be impossible.

Should have been used for this purpose in the first place and temporary facilities to deal with Covid should have had precedence over the outrageous games.

The Olympic Village is now condominiums for people who already bought years before Olympics. Condo owners are now moving in there.

Good move. Why is Tokyo not following suit? The beds are already here, and needed.

Olympic village are condos and people were put back on occupancy for two years. Would you want some one to take over your house?
