LETS GO BABY

I think there is an outside shot at being first place in gold medals, which of course means second place according to the Muricans. Just like in 2008, if China wins the most golds they will quickly change to counting by total medals.

The head of the organizing committee of Tokyo Olympics 2020, Toshiro Muto has not ruled out the possibility of complete cancellation of the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020 in the light of the rising Covid-19 cases in Japan.

Tokyo 2020 reported Monday that there are 58 Covid-19 cases linked to the Olympic Games so far.

According to PBS News Hour, only 15 to 20 percent of the Japanese public is fully vaccinated, and over 80 percent think the games should be postponed again or canceled altogether

Here we go
From a report on the covid positive gymnast :

Kara Eaker (18), an alternate for the United States Olympic gymnastics team, has tested positive for COVID. Leanne Wong (17), another alternate, has been placed in quarantine as well due to close contact with Kara.

After the Olympic team was named last month, most of the four alternates were asked if they were vaccinated. Kara Eaker and Emma Malabuyo said they were already vaccinated. Leanne Wong said her parents are research scientists and that they discussed the vaccine with her but she chose not to get vaccinated. The fourth alternate, Kayla DiCello was not asked if she was vaccinated at the same press event.

This strikes me as odd

Stupid people are everywhere.
Your parents could be Einstein and Marie Curie and their kids could still be talking about how Earth is flat and that vaccines dont work etc..

Imagine having your parents be so highly educated and still being an anti-vaxxer...

Why so odd? No one knows if mRNA vaccines have long term complications.
