  1. apply wearing a mask, keep your distance, wash your hands with soap / handsanitizer, do not crowd, limit mobility and faith, safe, immune with that we will win from covid 19 pray to Allah / Jesus / Dewa so that covid 19 goes thank you 🙂

    1. *DemocRAT president Roosevelt signed an executive order forcing Japanese-Americans into internment camps during WWII.*

    1. @JimmyJones IsGay the same people who bring up all the stuff “democrats” did decades or centuries ago, are the same ones who say “Black people need to get over slavery.” Spare me the tribalism.

  2. I wish everyone that has a vested interest in attending, and especially the athletes that train so long and hard, a safe, happy and productive games if they occur as scheduled.

    2. @Aparna Rajesh no it actually did happen tbh, but we do have racial icons like Lyndon B Johnson who was also a racist but in trumps logic did a lot for the black communitie like when he ended segeration

    3. It happened but what’s the point of bringing that up now? 🤔 What does that have to do with the Olympics?

    4. Wondering if the decision to proceed, against all reason, was made at a level we the world’s plebs have no access to, and is intended to Foster herd immunity at all costs. The cost, in this case, could amount to at least a billion plebian lives worldwide, and would no doubt be seen as acceptable by those who could make such a decision.

  3. With olympic game organizers ordering condoms by the thousands for athletes and staff, expecting them to social distance during games certainly appears unrealistic. Delaying the games by another year to have both summer and winter games a couple of months apart in 2022 definitely looks like the wiser thing to do.

    1. Sound mixer needs to do a partial soft blend between left and the right to make that sound right and natural. I’m on the tablet so I couldn’t even notice it till you mentioned it and I had to turn my tablet sideways.

  4. Bill Maher had to miss filming an episode for the first time in years this weekend because he has Covid-19 and can transmit it to his staff even though he is vaccinated.

    1. @It’s BeYoND mE Yes. He can still give it to his staff who can give it to others however. That’s why we all need to be vaccinated before we stop wearing masks inside.

  5. He makes so much damn sense! I mean crystalove clear! Non ambiguous very clear! Barely a inconvince “pitch meeting”

  6. I had always wished Tokyo would not be selected for 2020. Most Tokyoites had been against hosting the Olympiad 2020. It was a HUGE mistake.
