The decision to ban fans came just hours after Japanese Prime Minister Suga announced a new state of emergency in Tokyo, which begins Monday and will run through the entire Olympics. » Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

Fans Banned From Olympics After New State Of Emergency Declared in Tokyo
Three reasons why the Tokyo Olympics will go ahead despite the pandemic: https://youtu.be/30aXfYEtrvI.
I think the Olympics should have been delayed to 2022.
Fake news
Well, I will never watch it anyways. But I find it interesting that there closing down everything so people won't spread and we have Biden with open borders and worried about the American people taking their poison what a JOKE!
Poor Japan! All that money spent and no tourism revenues in the short term … 😞
DO NOT forget the fact that root cause of this is the evil china.
The Japanese government botched both the Olympics and vaccinations. The only reason there hasn’t been massive infection and death is because of the people of Japan, not the government.
Even long before the pandemic, they mismanaged simply building the stadium. I’m sure former Prime Minister Mori became very rich screwing up again and again, but he belongs in prison.
Even choosing the Olympic logo, that was all done in office.
Absolutely shameful.
Incompetent politicians at Japan.
They wait 15 days to pull this crap. They could have said it a bit sooner but they wanted a certain amount of commitment from the Olympic association so that they can’t just change the location on short notice 🤨ðŸ¤â€
Cancelled because the vaccine didn't work
Looking at the bright side, it will benefit the athletes that have stage fright issues performing before a large crowd.
Lord help us ðŸ™ÂðŸÂ½ðŸ™ÂðŸÂ½ðŸ™ÂðŸÂ½
"Fans Banned From Olympics After New State Of Emergency Declared in Tokyo" thereby motivating us, the people of America, to redouble our efforts to rapidly find out at any given moment, including even while On-Line, who among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to #ConvinceItForward for them to call their doctor and to self-quarantine per CDC guidelines in hopes of stopping this pandemic instead of having more #MourningInAmerica. Thus, we're hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the Alpha lineage mutations and others like the Gamma, Beta, Epsilon, Iota, & Delta lineage mutations combining to form hybrids that render current COVID vaccines no longer effective.
They should just have it here or in Canada.
Probably the only attendant that is going to the stadium will be the RX-78-02 Gundam.
The Korean treatment Pyramax has successfully completed phase 2 clinical trials…. All severe patients were cured and the virus was killed with a negative rate of 100%…. However, several forces around the world are blocking this. …….I hope there are no more deaths… Please spread the miracle cure that can be cured in 3 days widely.
If there's a Chinese New Year gathering for Covid, this would be it. All the fam variant from the world will gather in one spot and will merge to become one. It will be a feast for sure!
Will be all CGI now
That's great ðŸ‘Â
NO MORE SUPER
SPREADER EVENT !
Ridiculous
Co vid was never isolated , the so called conspiracy theories are true. And what is in the experimental vaccine? Still in testing stage.
TOK-NO OLYMPICS!
The Olympics Variant on the making?
More than 20% of Japan's population is over 65 years old, the highest proportion in the world. With only about 15% of the Japanese being vaccinated and having the world highest proportion in the world of older people and the influx of people for the Olympics, it will spread the virus and cause increase in hospitalization and increase in death in the local population.
Lets have international games in the middle of a pandemic, what could go wrong? Boundless human stupidity! The agony of defeat!
Great news for those with stagefright…terrible news for all the narcissists.
TOKYO TOKYO TOKYO
Why doesn't the United States just send some vaccine over there and start vaccinating people that way in 2 weeks time there should be enough people protected to have fans
Love you Tokyo from Australia.
Com'on they need to be trying harder to move the Olympics to a different country. They seriously need to consult the TV Networks to renegotiate a new and bigger contract.
Refund needed.
Just cancel the Olympics. They're a scam anyway.
It will be a historical event
Yeesh, I hope those affected get refunds. Glad it's just locals.
Gerrymandring in Texas district 33 is horrible.
Aw 🙁
