#Tokyo2020 Athletes. 🇯🇵 Tokyo is under #StateOfEmergency until August 22 for the full duration of the Games. Experts predict #COVID19 cases will DOUBLE by the end of July. SERIOUSLY, don't be a part of an 'affront to humanity'. #SaveLivesNotTheOlympics

presser calls for attention to 'the hidden cost to women' in holding the Olympics during pandemic," calling the 'reckless' act "an affront to humanity."
Video by @nutcracker_1892
This is the greatest affront to sustaining human life. Whether the venues are all closed to spectators or not, bringing together athletes and related personnel from around the world on the scale of tens of thousands of people should not be allowed to take place during a pandemic.
If the Olympics go ahead, Tokyo will become a huge epicenter of infection. And if athletes and personnel bring the virus back to their own countries, it would lead to further loss of human life.

I think there should be serious discussion in the US for a male president who out of fear of COVID will send HIS WIFE INSTEAD OF HIMSELF and that makes it OK. What does it say about the country? Is it OK because it is diplomatically OK, even during a global pandemic?
There is a historical precedent where President Obama sent The First Lady during the London Olympics. But that was during normal times. It was a diplomatic decision made during peace time. But today, we are in the midst of a global pandemic.

Health experts around the world, including government advisors are warning about #Tokyo2020 becoming a possible place for mixing of variants & super-spreader event. And the possibility is getting REAL by the day. I wonder if the Americans are caught up.

Canceling the olympics is the only way

Imagine a group of lovers huddled together walking along the river at night or three generations of families embracing each other on their grandchild's birthday. What we are looking for is a world where such "everyday life" has returned.
However, Japan is now on the verge of becoming a "disturbed country" that goes directly against such hopes. Holding the Olympics and Paralympics under a declared state of emergency as the new coronavirus infection continues to spread?
If it were any other country, we would be disgusted and say, "What a terrible country!"
 
The first and foremost duty of a national leader is to protect people's lives.

In a rare post on @asahi, the award-winning novelist #JiroAkagawa #赤川次郎 calls on the world of medicine and the press to "each raise their voices against the Olympics," demanding the #Tokyo2020 organizers to call off the Games because "no human loss can ever be recovered."
Calling off the Olympics is the only path

Imagine lovers, side by side, enjoying their night walk alongside a river. Imagine a family of three generations, gathered to celebrate their grandchildren's birthday, embracing each other. That's the life that we wanted to return to.

ひょこピさんが抜いてくれた画像で私なりに全てを詰め込んだバナーを作ってみました。完全素人なので見栄えとかほんとすみません。ただ、「オリンピックではなく命を守れ」というタグには、それなり思い入れがあります。すでに「オリンピックより命を守れ」というタグが主流ですが、私は英語
すでに #オリンピックより命を守れ が主流ですが、私が英語から考えた #SaveLivesNotTheOlympics の「Not」は日本語訳でもより強調されるべきだと思いました。なぜなら、オリンピックは決して《命と等価ではない》からです。等価のもの間で選ぶ「より」は不適当です。
だから「ではなく」としました。
やっぱり背景は黒がいいですね。
やり方がいまいちわからなくて。

Before COVID, the #Aichi @irouren nurses were able to express their frustrations like any other worker. Now under the #StateofEmergency, they will not walk but just hold a presser and engage the social media. #看護の日
#看護は自己犠牲じゃない
Leading up to the presser, @irouren & labor unions nationwide unleashed a fierce SNS campaign expressing the anger & frustration of the nurses on the field, gathering almost 0.5M tweets to date. This nurse exclaimed, “WE ARE NOT DISPOSABLE PAWNS!” #看護は自己犠牲じゃない
But despite the fierce protest, the Japan Nursing Association reportedly succumbed to the demands of the #Tokyo2020 organizers to ‘secure’ 500 nurses for the Games. #Aichi @irouren have rejected saying, “It is unimaginable: one sick-leave is rendering our operation useless!”
