Olympic game decision will be made in 4 weeks

The Olympic game in this year is now in peril.

The Guardian: Olympics postponement to 2021 on cards as IOC gives itself four-week deadline

This coming Tokyo Olympic 2020 is approaching in only some months. But Japan is now struck by deadly corona virus. Even the current situation is not so dreadful than reported by the mass media,
it is no doubt many people are hesitating to attend.

Japan Olympic committee keeps aggressive attitude to be willing to implement the whole game. Previously, the IOC also seemed optimistic. However, several nations including Germany and the US are opposing to perform the game as planned. Therefore, the IOC declared to make a decision within four weeks.

It means that the possibility of postponing has been increased. The committee will face a tough negotiation between stakeholders.

I myself am not so interested in the Olympic games. But, I understand the influence of the performance of this event on Japan as well as other nations. I expect the game will be held normally without troubles.
