The IOC, not Japan, has the authority to decide

WaPo記事。バッハIOC会長が「日本の人々は歴史を通じ忍耐力を示してきた。逆境を乗り越える日本の人々の能力によってこそ極めて困難な状況下での五輪開催が可能になる」と述べたことに「多くの人が開催を望まなず、なぜＩＯＣの命令で逆境に向かわせられるのか理解できないことを無視している」と。

  Yet Bach’s comments provoked a howl of protest on Japanese social media. His rhetoric ignored the fact that most people here simply don’t want the Games to go ahead — and don’t see why they need to be subjected to adversity at the IOC’s behest.

“Most health workers say even thinking about the Olympics is just ridiculous,” 

“We are really fighting a life-and-death situation,” he said. “How the hell can you speak of a sports event gathering so many spectators, staff, volunteers, nurses and doctors? Who could enjoy the Games in this situation?”

Pressed by reporters on why the Games were going ahead despite the emergency, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said, “The IOC has the authority to decide, and the IOC has already decided to hold the Tokyo Olympics.”

We are not disposable pawns,” one nurse wrote on a placard that she held up in a tweet.

Others have taken to the streets, asking why IOC officials will get regular testing for the coronavirus while many health workers still can’t access tests.

IOCに責任とってもらうしかないな。

 

都知事の頭の中・・ 首相や五輪相の「くず」っぷりをとことん晒し続けさせて 満を持して、都知事が「五輪中止」を言い出し、 国民の人気をさらうという作戦なのかも

百合子が土壇場で五輪中止提言すれば、支持されるかもしれんけど・・・自民党からは恨まれるかもしれんけど・・・
