        It's ridiculous, if the seriousness of the pandemic isn't acknowledged it will be going on forever, at some point we will be entering the 600th wave!

        Frustrating. I wish they’d skip it and do Tokyo in 2024, just push each city back by 4 years and skip the 2020 one. Sucks, but priorities.

        What's scary is that many young, primed and ready athletes who have trained just about all their lives for this will want to go and waive the risks, risking their own health for potential glory. Some of which will come back without the medal and having gotten sick in the process.
