"New inmate in Olympic jail," she wrote in the caption of the video, in which she said: "I have a new friend, called Bob. He's ready to fight."

"Yesterday we went on a strike, because we need outside air, anything... because nothing opens. The windows are closed, the doors don't open, ever. That's not OK," she said. "Not having any outside air is so inhuman, and it is mentally super-draining."

Sounds like people who got detention treatment, except they free to use internet.

We were right @kurisupisu.

Please TOC, continually watch over ANY of the quarantined athletes as conditions can unpredictably change quickly if not properly monitored:

Out of the more than 124,000 routine coronavirus tests taken by Olympic athletes and team officials this month, just 22 positive cases have been confirmed, according to Tokyo 2020. The figure does not include tests at airports.

And how many tests for the habitants of the city of 14M, I guess not any where near the olympic related test numbers even with the exclusion of the airport test. A journalist who is not inquisitive cannot call themselves a true journalism. A gain, the author clearly fails to check how many days that the number of test span. Today is day 7 since the olympics started plus the 5 days before the athletes and officials were allowed in the village a rough estimate is 10.3K tests a day while one of most populated and richest cities on the planet does 2.5K somedays on a pop of 14M people. What an utter joke.
