OT 2021 Olympics in Jeopardy

[BigGameDamian]

Move the games to Oregon and limit the fans. They can play soccer and basketball in Portland, Gymnastics in Corvallis, Track and Field in Eugene.
How big is the pool at the Mac club?

No chance! There's way too much money invested in the Olympics.

This is genius.

 

[THE HCP]

They did just announce that only Japanese citizens can attend the games as fans.

For whatever its worth, Intel is a major sponsor of the games and we're being told they're still happening...

Oh as of right now it is on. I just had my credentials mailed to me and we are booked to be there. I plan on going until told otherwise.

Mrs HCP has to be ecstatic!

I know I'm happy about the time slot I won in the lottery with her this time around. I hope they don't cancel them!

Hmm you work for Intel? Never knew..

 

[glazeduck]

Only for the last year and a half. Still pretty new...

Probably the right way to play it.

I'll compete in the Olympics!

Pick a sport, I'll do it!

Dude just runs around acting like he’s going to throw the javelin at the fans and they are frightened but then they realize this guy has no freaking clue what he’s doing and it doesn’t even make it into to the stands.

 

[PDXFonz]

Somebody still cares about the Olympics?

I love the olympics

 

[Pinwheel1]

I prefer that they do not use the Olympics as a platform to protest, but I also prefer they not make threats to stop it.
That will not work out well.

I'll cheer for you but you don't have a chance against Joey Chestnut.

Just had a ZOOM with Tokyo early this morning. Sent out our itineraries and tons of other info. Looks like we will have to have 2 COVID tests within 96 hours of us leaving. Another right when we land. Then quarantine for 3 days, taking another test each morning. They aren't joking around. I'm impressed with our rigid the rules are.

Japan has to many covid-19 cases.

Had multiple riders from Japan in my Uber in Eugene tell me most of Japan has refused the Vaccine. I was shocked by that.

Good Luck, wish the best for you. Go make Bucks.

Yup, seems like less than 10% of the population is fully vaccinated, vs. 45%+ for the US.

 

[JoshuaHall]

Good for the Japanese people.

It was the Zika Virus when we went to Rio. Obviously not as serious, but I remember my family being worried about that. Didn't work for 10 months last year.....gotta' catch up.
