The policy of "increasing the number of beds for infectious diseases" is only a "transfer from normal beds," while the policy of reducing the number of beds themselves continues.

The current policy of "securing medical resources and ensuring a system where those in need can receive medical care" also consists of abandoning those with minor illnesses. The limited medical resources were also taken away by the Olympics.
The only reason why the government has not declared a nationwide state of emergency at this time is that they do not want to admit that the Olympics were a failure. Even after the Olympics are over, the government's countermeasures against infectious diseases will remain sloppy.

Und während nun kein Mensch weiß, was nun eigentlich bzgl #rule50 bei #tokyo2021 gilt, lohnt es sich, den Offenen Brief zu lesen, der heute bei #ioc und #ipc aus der akademischen, hauptsächlich englisch sprechenden Ecke einging. ->
Besonders interessant, wie die Politik der IOC-Athletenkommission um das bei der Session just aufgestiegene #IOC-Mitglied Kirsty Coventry (Sportministerin Zimbabwe) zerpflückt wird, die durch die Nike-Lorenz-Ausnahme von heute ja auch überholt scheint:
“the #IOC AC fails to articulate clearly enough (a) whom the IOC AC consulted specifically, (b) what qualified them to speak as experts on human rights, and (c) how the human rights expertise from the person(s) consulted impacted the final report.” alicenter.org/wp-content/upl…

Today, the #IOC members were shown and applauded a film featuring Holocaust survivor Agnes Keleti. It says Jesse Owens "redefined freedom" in Berlin in 1936. But it did not mention that the Berlin hosts murdered Agnes' father in Auschwitz. -> faz.net/aktuell/sport/…
It doesn't mention the murder of her uncles in Auschwitz. Nor does it mention that Agnes Keleti was kicked out of the 1940 Tokio Olympics team for being Jewish or that she survived the German invasion of Nazi ally Hungary by changing her identity.
It does use Leni Riefenstahl's Nazi propaganda footage however. And whoever gave this clip the thumbs up at the #IOC, was fully aware where the show is headed next winter. It says a lot about how the IOC looks upon itself, history & the world. #tokyo2021 #berlin1936 #beijing2022

With all the stuff that's going on with #COVID19 and the #Tokyo #Olympics, one simmering scandal seems to have gone largely unnoticed in the western media so far: Tokyo Metropolitan Government's plan to force schoolchildren to act as an audience for the games. Thread 1/4
The Tokyo Metropolitan Education Board is making around 800,000 kids attend Games events to pad attendance - during the school holidays - and mark them as formally 'absent' if they do not (although they have tried to download this to School principals) 2/4 huffingtonpost.jp/entry/story_jp…
And just this week, the newspaper of the Communist Party of Japan has a further scoop with more details, explained on the No Olympics blog 3/4 hangorin.tumblr.com/post/651082616…

【48小時大逆轉:三大體育組織、美澳反對,日本鬆口東奧將延期】
過去48小時內,許多國家的體育組織紛紛跳出來呼籲東京奧運延期舉辦,包括美國田徑、游泳、體操協會,加上英法的田徑、游泳協會及囊括奧運最多金牌的世界田徑總會,讓日首相安倍晉三與國際奧委會主席巴赫不得不鬆口說出,延期是選項。 Image
不僅體育組織出聲,還有共13國包含挪威、巴西的奧委會建議延期,最新入列的是加拿大奧委會,斬釘截鐵說不派隊參加、澳洲奧委會也告知運動員隔年再戰。
【賽事延後的重大挑戰】
但若真的延期,諸多事項需要解決。首先是賽事安排,因為延期可能與其他重大運動賽事撞期,還有場地安排,初步估計東京奧運要舉行的賽事超過270場,東京奧運雖有43個場館,但並非每個都是專屬性質的,延期若成真,有些場地可能會面臨無法使用的情況。

It's 2016.
I graduate from Texas in December.

I can't believe it's been a year already.

I thank God for where I was then, where I am now & where He's taking me to next.
