And I think the next ones will not be happening in a long time.Mikio WatanukiI think this is how they should be celebrated. Because after postponing the Games for a year and the effort that the athletes have made controlling their condition and now I imagine that doing them without an audience ... If I were an athlete, I imagine that I could not give 100% in my performance without an audience there.Shimicchi“Vaccination is starting now (in Japan) and they should control the public more. If they do not reduce the number of spectators, when the Games are over, the same thing that happened with the Go To campaign last year, in September, which spread infections throughout Japan could repeat itself.
The vaccination campaign against the novel coronavirus COVID-19 is rolling along--but very, very slowly. While the FDA has approved two vaccines for distribution, experts say it will be many months before all Americans who want a vaccine can receive one. An NBC News analysis says that at the current pace, it'll take nearly a decade to vaccinate enough Americans to bring the pandemic under control. And according to Business Insider, Brown University's Dr. Ashish K. Jha knows why. He says it's because the Trump administration has bucked the responsibility of vaccine distribution to already overwhelmed state health departments.
