Yes and 80-90K people coming into the country for it. The IOC seem to have Japan over a barrel with the Japanese (public) not wanting it anymore. They did decide not to distribute 100K (or something) condoms, as they usually do at the Olympics. That should sort out any potential contacts among tens of thousands of supremely fit athletes in a bubble for weeks :rolleyes:.

Then you have the Euro final in London with Uefa "exempting" 2-3K people from the UK's quarantine rules (or they would move the final). At least the UK have rolled out the vaccine pretty efficiently, although slightly differently with the delay in second doses.

It also set up that the blue states will require masks on children under age 12 at least at the beginning (last I heard the trials on pfizer for the over 5 were due September-October)

They will be hearing from me if my kid's districts go the all mask route.

It's so counterproductive to getting kids vaccinated. I certainly won't vaccinate my youngest if he is still required to wear a mask vaccinated or not.

Japan's low-vaccination problem has not been political insanity, but instead lack of vaccine doses. Japan has no national source of any of the vaccines and relies entirely on imports, which were slow to arrive until late May.

Certainly true, add to that their strict clinical trials requirements for new drugs and their ultra conservative approach to administering drugs. They will not rely on the public sector (Wal greens, CVS) to administer vaccines.

Did you mean the private sector? Japan Self-Defense Force and national health authorities are administering as much of the vaccines as they can get, along with some large private companies offering vaccinations to their employees.
 
My bestie had COVID and is now not feeling well. Went to get a panel because the symptoms are weird and COVID-like but she's already had COVID. Turns out she has OC-43....one of the original non-covid coronaviruses. Looks like the COVID antibodies or T-cells prevented her from giving it to her family (at least so far).

I am always interested to read about new biological theories.
