No need for the grim reaper to make an appearance. Yes, there are some positive tests and so far nobody has even gotten sick that I’m aware of. And none of these athletes are going to die from covid. Not even close.
That being said, I’m not sure the games should be held. The panic level is still too high, there are no fans in attendance and some results will be tainted by athletes not attending.

So far, we’re two days away from the official start, and only several people have tested positive. Yet.

Superspreader in Milwaukee Tuesday night. NBA finals with 65,000 in the parking lot alone.

They had no Olympics in 1940 and 1944 because of World War II. Isn’t a pandemic as bad?

The Olympic folk are just following the lead that states like Florida have done.. COVID be damned, open up and accept a bit of collateral damage.

Your first, but not your last, if the anti-vaxxers have their way.

11,000 coming to the village, less than 100 positives so far. It’s working

Not quite true. Remember the 1972 Olympics? Death was in the stands then too.
