you should be PRAYING that they let you postpone to next year. Nobody in their right mind would risk traveling to watch meaningless sports at a time like this.

At this point, Tokyo should be considering on postponing the Olympics if the situation doesn't improve at a certain period ahead of the event. Just have a pay per view instead, it'll save spectators the trouble of lining up, commuting, buying seats and getting a good view.

Abe has postponed meaningful reforms in Japan now-he’s the man for the job...

Well now that Abe's BFF has made a comment about cancelling the ball is rolling! Things are going to eventually get better, BUT I doubt it will all suddenly clear up enough WORLD-WIDE to hold the Olympics now!
Watch out when countries start pulling out!

October or November, please.
The spectators and athletes will both be safer, both from the virus and from heatstroke.

October 10, 2021 is my choice.

Ishiba is one Japanese politician who seems to be on top of the issues. He is very well versed in policy and actually is able to make good analysis. He has a boring and dull personality but my gosh he is good when you listen to him analysing policy issues. He will be a better PM than Abe is.
