Covid Cases at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

[Jan Linha 590]

nightmare regarding covid. After unnamed team member and beach volleyball player Ondřej Perušič, today tested positive the coach of the female beach volleyball pair and husband of Markéta Nausch Sluková - Simon Nausch. Third case in Czech team. What is the most disturbing is the fact that it seems that all three cases are not related at all....

I just read that one Iranian tested positive for COVID in Tokyo

 

that was the headline which was a bit scary but fortunately it was just a TV guy, and organizers put the entire Iran TV personals on quarantine. I have absolutely no problem with that. these guys suck after all, just release the wrestling commentator. Japan can keep the rest forever.

 

60/70% of our athletes landed in Japan and no problem so far.

How can they not be related when they all linked to Beach volleyball?

Because both teams - Perušič/Schweiner a Nausch/Hermannová have completely different program and travel to different tournaments. They don't meet often. If they trained together and everything, I would accept that .... But they don't train or compete together much.

Did they not fly in together - I believe a charted plane from Prague was used rather than a commercial flight.

 skateboarder Candy Jacobs tests positive inside the village. Please please please don't become a snowball effect inside the Dutch team!

 

Apparently there has been 79 total cases in the village so far. 8 of those are new cases from today's tests. Not sure what to think of that.
