Japan To Declare COVID Emergency Through Olympics; May Ban All Fans

With just two weeks to go before the postponed Olympics, Japan has declared a state of emergency through August because of skyrocketing COVID-19 cases. The Tokyo Olympics run from July 23 to August 8. Fans from abroad were already banned from attending the Games, while local residents were going to be allowed to fill venues at 50% capacity. Sources say they expect an announcement today (Thursday) to change plans again and possibly ban all fans. If you were in charge of the Olympics, would you still push ahead at this point or is it time to pull the plug and wait until 2024?
