Subject: Tokyo Olympics (Opinion)

Hey everyone, I was reading a story that talked about how the Tokyo Olympics will be proceeding. The story indicated that they are continuing due to the monetary concerns over a cancellation. As such I was thinking of a few things to consider for the Olympics. Firstly, the Olympic committee should purchase vaccines and vaccinate every performer now to ensure full inoculation during the Olympics. Additionally, to reduce people attending physically or those that cant attend we should institute digital competitions. Each nation that cannot attend will hold digital ceremonies in their nation that will be sent to the committee for judging. These can happen in real time to still give us the Olympic experience but keep everyone safe. Finally, masks should be worn for all competitors unless they are competing. We should also give more times between physical performances to allow any droplets to disappait. These were a few thoughts I was having in relation to a safer Olympics. Perhaps we can review these options. Stay safe, stay sanitized and stay supportive, John Ames Birch @johneames2
