No queue-jumping says IOC chief, as nations plan vaccines for athletes

The Olympics are happening, it's on.

The Olympics are happening, it's on.

Beep, beep, beep...wake up, it's 7:00am already, time to don the cheap suit and jump on the yamanote line with all the other salarymen, it was a good dream though.

Stupid Florida, "No Frontsies"...

"Based on the counter measures and the experience of other events...it is clearly not irresponsible," he said.

Joke of the day.

Japan is still having dry runs while others have already begun vaccination. How does the host country present an image of a safe Olympics to the world? Does the world know that Japan doesn't have enough beds and staff for even the national populace now? You want to send people from your country here?

I want to live in his world.

Germany's NOC said they would "wait in line" and not interfere with the national vaccination plan

Full respect to Germany if they stick to their word. These fit, generally young athletes have no right to jump any queues, except for Paralympians. They are not special.

Will Japan follow, and vaccine everybody in an equally manner?

It seems to me no athletes would come if they can't get a vaccine home earlier.

It is highly unlikely that Japan's own team will be vaccinated by the end of June without jumping a queue.

Securing 10,000 medical staff for the Games will also delay vaccine rollout for other people. That staff has to come from somewhere.

No queue jumping?

Pity, my country would have taken gold if it was an olympic event

Personally I think the borders should be closed for another twelve months.

Bach can say whatever he wants but the athletes and the pandemic will have the final say just like last year

“no queue-jumping! Athletes are clearly first in line.”
