Not to be insensitive to the hopes and dreams of these athletes, but with Tokyo in its 5th surge, a slow vaccine rollout, athletes testing positive, local opposition , and no local or international spectators allowed, the Olympics should be cancelled. https://t.co/NsnhStEbeQ

The three people who tested covid positive inside the Olympic Village had "close contact" with 21 people, per daily Olympic covid update. Three more Olympics-related people have tested positive for a total of 58, including a journalist. https://t.co/31Vc9ZYDr1

The Olympics COVID drama is going to mess around & make another variant. Our obsession with being post pandemic in the middle of a raging pandemic is gross.

Explain this to me like I'm a 5 year old. Why in hell did the Olympics go ahead during a pandemic and turn into a clusterfuck of covid? WTF
