        Totally checked out on them, I'm usually excited but the disrespect being shown to the Japanese people during a state of emergency is sickening.

        There should not be an Olmpics until the pandemic has been defeated. Athletes may be asymptomatic, but the people they will encounter upon their respective regions of the world will not all be asymptomatic. Wisdom filled physical fitness instructors and nutritionists are needed
