Organizers set up task force to deal with Olympic postponement

Didn’t see a task force coming (sarcasm). Let’s meet and discuss endlessly, we’ve got a whole year to “strategize”.

How totally and utterly depressing.

There is so much to say about this article, but I just can’t be bothered.

Fully understand Mr Mori's feelings but sir with due respect...with the Olympics postponed and at almost 83 years of age and having ongoing cancer treatment it might be time to step down if this is a "predicament"

“Additional expenses are going to be quite massive we assume,” Muto said.

Well, for a kick-off, we are going to have to pay for this herd of oyajis to have their snouts in the trough of taxpayer money for another 12 months before they decide to exactly the same thing on exactly the same dates 12 months later.

It's going to be a bumper year for the Ginza hostess bars.

How about strategizing a plan as to the better way of dealing with the screen crisis in Japan. Worry later about the Olympics, it’s dead and done for now. Focus on the virus, the nation and what to do if there’s a massive outbreak, that is and should take top priority.

Japan has never been good with walking and chewing gum at the same time.

Government: I can't understand why people in Tokyo aren't practicing social distancing and taking the virus seriously.

Also Government: Lets launch the Tokyo 2020 New Launch Task Force and sit real close to each other.

Can Mori not just go and retire?
