As the schedule for the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics is approaching six months ahead, the call for cancellation is raising its head. The Japanese government dismisses observations 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. According to a new schedule announced by the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee, according to the schedule announced by the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Games were newly announced in March last year, as the then Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the chairman of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach decided to postpone the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Games for one year. The opening ceremony is held on the 23rd. The opening date is approaching six months, but the possibility of cancellation is drawing more attention than the preparation situation. It has been pointed out for a long time that this year’s Olympics will be 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, chairman of the Japanese Medical Association, said that it is not a situation that can accommodate foreign patients in terms of medical provision capabilities in connection with hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games. 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), announced an estimate the day before that if the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympic Games were held without spectators, economic losses would amount to about 2.43 trillion yen (25.7 trillion won). 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. The Nippon Geizai Shimbun (Nikkei) diagnosed that there are many obstacles to overcome, and there are many obstacles to overcome, as it is necessary to come up with a direction in relation to the issue of hosting the Olympics until March this year, when the torch relay is scheduled to commence. 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 Yoshihide Suga 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 in mind. yunhap news
