Chairman of the Japanese Medical Association “Frequent medical breakdowns…cannot accommodate foreign patients”
Biden’s launch of the US administration, which emphasizes quarantine, is also a variable… Possible extension of emergency

(Tokyo Reuters = Yonhap News) A large five-ring sculpture installed in Tokyo, Japan, a bird is flying on the 22nd. The Japanese government denied reports that it internally decided to cancel the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which were once postponed from July to September this year due to a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

(Tokyo = Yonhap News) Correspondent Lee Se-won = The Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony is six months ahead, and cancellations are raising their heads.
The Japanese government dismisses the observation of the cancellation of the event and is considering a plan for the’non-audience competition’, but even in this case, it is expected to suffer huge economic losses.
In March last year, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Chairman Thomas Bach of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to postpone the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Games for one year, according to a new schedule announced by the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee. Will hold the opening ceremony on July 23 this year.
The opening date is approaching six months, but the possibility of cancellation is drawing more attention than the preparation situation.

(Tokyo Reuters = Yonhap News) On the 7th, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga held a press conference on a large screen installed in Tokyo, Japan, declaring an emergency of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19). It is being broadcast.

It has been pointed out that this year’s Olympics is difficult due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), but the British newspaper The Times canceled it, citing an anonymous Japanese passport official that it internally concluded that the Japanese government should cancel this year’s Olympics. Ron caught fire.
The Japanese government, the organizing committee, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) all denied the report.
However, there are also signs that the theory of cancellation of the Olympics, which has been taboo so far, will be a chance to come out in a sunny way.
Toshio Nakagawa (中川俊男), chairman of the Japanese Medical Association, said that it is not a situation that can accommodate foreign patients in terms of medical care capabilities in connection with hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

(Tokyo AP = Yonhap News) Citizens wearing masks are crossing a pedestrian crossing in Tokyo on the 19th among emergency people due to the spread of a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19).

According to Kyodo News, Chairman Nakagawa said at a lecture held in Tokyo the day before that it is “not possible” to accommodate foreign patients unless the situation under pressure on the medical provision system improves.
He said, “It’s a great number just by means of goodwill. It is not possible to say whether it is acceptable in a situation where medical collapse is frequent,” he said. “It is separate that vaccines function dramatically, special drugs are released in a hurry, and such excitement occurs.” .
Chairman Nakagawa presupposed that “there is no intention to mention whether the Japanese Medical Association can be held at this time,” but it is an aspect that puts weight on the theory of cancellation because it pointed out realistic difficulties.
The Japanese government, in a hurry, abandoned its goal of “a complete form of the Olympics,” and even came up with a prescription for a drastic drug to be held without spectators.

Officials from the Japanese government stated that they are reviewing three measures, such as’no upper limit’, ‘50% reduction’, and’no audience’, regarding the plan to accommodate the stadium crowd, and emphasized that Japan is moving to host the Olympics. The newspaper reported on the 23rd.
The holding of no spectators is expected to be a major blow to Japan.
According to the Tokyo Newspaper, Katsuhiro Miyamoto, an emeritus professor at Kansai University (theoretical economics), said that if the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games were held without spectators, the economic loss would amount to about 2,433.3 billion yen (25,7 trillion won). It was announced the day before.
The loss is less than canceling, but it is likely to be an honor with only wounds.
According to an estimate made in March last year, the economic loss in case of cancellation was 4,5151 billion yen (about 48.01 trillion won).
The launch of the US administration by Joe Biden can be seen as a bad news for Japan, who wishes to host the Olympics.
Former President Donald Trump, who is close to Abe, saved Abe from a crisis last year by proposing a plan to postpone the Olympics for a year, but it is unclear whether President Biden, who values quarantine, will give a favorable message regarding the hosting of the event.

(Tokyo = Yonhap News) Correspondent Se-won Lee = On March 25, 2020, a major Japanese newspaper reported that the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Games will be postponed for about a year in consideration of the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). At the time, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe closed the crisis with a decision to postpone, but the theory of cancellation is drawing attention six months before the opening ceremony.

The Nihon Keizai newspaper (Nikkei) diagnosed that until March this year, when the torch relay is scheduled to begin, it is necessary to give direction in relation to the Olympic hosting issue, and there are many obstacles to overcome.
In the meantime, the organizing committee is considering a plan to withhold the torch relay in areas where an emergency has been declared due to Corona 19, Nikkei said.
Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide said earlier that the emergency will be lifted by the end of the 7th of next month, but it can be seen as a measure with the possibility of an extension.
