    Is the Vaccine available to all those involved or just athletes?
  2. Orangehair43
    RTE News has just announced all Irish athletes at Olympics and Paralympics will be offered the Pfizer vaccine before the games after a deal between Pfizer and the IOC.

    That’s good. More likely Japan is is preparing that People travelling from the highest risk countries to simply hotel quarantine outside of Tokyo for 10-14 days before being allowed near the City. They must be plenty of rural hotels that could isolate all the staff throughout the quarantine and for 10-14 days after to prevent an increased risk to the Local population.

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/may/03/japan-nurses-voice-anger-at-call-to-volunteer-for-tokyo-olympics-amid-covid-crisis Are they really going to be able to manage it. I am starting to fear the nightmare of the games starting but getting abandoned mid way through after mass outbreaks and lots and lots of random medalists due to depleted fields.

    I wonder if India will pull out due to the rise of the new variant there - it’s not known if any existing vaccine works on it.
  6. Orangehair43
    The big risk is the Indian Variant, or another similarly risky one, breaking out in Tokyo - if that happens then teams will withdraw, Australia for example has made entry even for it’s citizens coming from India illegal.

    They might well end up cutting fans mid games if the situation detoriates while the games are going ahead. Last minute changes have happened frequently through out the world during the pandemic.

    If a team event or the majority of the field is put into isolation pending testingthen some events might be postponed until everyone has been tested and checked but I doubt anything will be postponed for positive tests unless it really gets out of control and not doing would truly undermine the games,

    Yes, Tk get everyone vaccinated the IOC would have to buy the, which would cause a massive backlash towards them. Severest countries will have gotten most of their team done with at least one jab by July and others will secretly push people up the list without it being publicised.

    Is it worth it when only a few teams will turn up.
  11. Orangehair43
    Tokyo has just entered a state of Emergency again due to Covid. I feel like we might hear rumours soon of countries saying if it’s still in place in July they might decline to travel there.

    It might happen if UEFA fear a full stadium means the players and support staff catch the virus. The last thing they want is the virus spreading among the participants -Espescally the risk of it being a vaccine busting variant.

    More than 500k have been vaccinated with the Chinese Vaccine which China itself admitted is not truly effective.

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/15/cancelling-tokyo-olympics-remains-an-option-top-japanese-politician-2020 A senior member of Japan’s ruling party has said that cancelling the Tokyo Olympics “remains an option” if the coronavirus pandemic continues to worsen. “If it seems impossible to do it any more, then we have to stop, decisively,” Toshihiro Nikai, secretary general of the Liberal Democratic party, said in a TV interview that has yet to be aired.

    I can see my home city of London at least considering stepping in as emergency host for 2023 should Budapest decline.
  17. Orangehair43
    It probably does. Plenty of polls over the last year have showed majority of Japanese have always preferred cancellation compared to postponement,
  18. Orangehair43
    With how the Chinese Vaccine being used in Hungary is proving to be ineffective I would not count on that happening.
  19. Orangehair43
    Is there really that many. Every country in Europe has had some level of international sport,
  20. Orangehair43
    Bound to be more but North Korea is I think the only country where no international athletes have competed in anything for a year.
  21. Orangehair43
    Brazil due to all the Brazilian’s of Japanese ethnicity who have moved there.
  22. Orangehair43
    Just been confirmed no international fans or volunteers. I still think some nations will pull out of the games even if they go ahead - especially countries that have eliminated the virus or by vaccination will have mostly eliminated it by July - because the difficulties in quarantining after they return might be too difficult.
  23. Orangehair43
    In the UK that hasn't been a political issue so far In Better news. https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/japan-pm-g7-leaders-support-161329603.html
  24. Orangehair43
    Britons want it cancelled.
  25. Orangehair43
    Australia discussing if to ban their citizens from travelling abroad for work so I can see them withdrawing within the next two months.
