Olympic Village COVID-19 infection bubble already 'broken' - Health expert
TOKYO: The so-called bubble to control COVID-19 infections at the Olympic Athlete's Village in Tokyo is already "broken" and poses a risk of spreading infections to the general populace, a prominent public health expert said on Tuesday.
Games officials on Sunday reported the first COVID-19 case among competitors in the athletes' village in Tokyo where 11,000 athletes are expected to stay. Since July 2, Tokyo 2020 organisers have reported 58 positive cases among athletes, officials and journalists.
"It's obvious that the bubble system is kind of broken," said Kenji Shibuya, the former director of the Institute for Population Health at King's College London.
"My biggest concern is, of course, there will be a cluster of infections in the village or some of the accommodation and interaction with local people."
Insufficient testing at the border and the impossibility of controlling people's movements mean that the Games could exacerbate the spread of the infectious Delta variant of the virus, he added.
International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said last week that testing and quarantine protocols would leave "zero" risk of Games participants infecting residents in Japan.
Declarations like that only serve to confuse and anger people, Shibuya said, as actual conditions on the ground are "totally opposite".
In April, Shibuya co-authored a commentary in the British Medical Journal that the Olympics must be "reconsidered" due to Japan's inability to contain coronavirus cases.
New COVID-19 cases in Tokyo reached 1,410 on Saturday, a near six month high, while the Games are due to start in just three days.
Public health experts have warned that seasonal factors, increased mobility, and the spread of the Delta variant could lead to a surge past 2,000 cases per day in Tokyo by next month, levels that could drive the city's medical system to breaking point.
Just 33% of people in Japan have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose, among the lowest rate among wealthy countries, according to a Reuters tracker. The vaccination push has gained steam since last month, but recently ebbed due to supply and logistical snags.
By contrast, Soma City in the northern prefecture of Fukushima where Shibuya headed its vaccination efforts recently completed the bulk of its inoculations, far ahead of most of Japan.

Agreed.
Kalau ikut kemampuan mmg both dato jijoe alfonso dgn shah firdaus ada harapan pingat in both sprint and keirin. tapi tu lah, kena tajamkan taktik dan selebihnya tawakkal. Kalau ada rezeki insyaAllah. especially for Keirin, mmg nasib pun mainkan peranan, kalau sangkut kat belakang orang, kayuh kuat mcmana pun tak boleh nak pegi.
BTW, jom semua kita subscribe youtube channel dato Jijoe alfonso, best tgk preparation diorang utk Olimpik ni. mmg padu.
Sama2 kita doakan dato Jijoe dengan shah firdaus dapat pingat, tak kisah warna apa pun tapi kalau rezeki emas, mmg terbaik ahh.
Lee Zii jhia pun ada potensi yang besar utk dapat emas, just as long as he play to his strength.
As for the other elit athlete, i.e. terjun, pandalela dan kawan2, susah nak nampak diorang dpt emas, kalau tengok atlit terjun cina, out of this world. tapi kalau nak dpat pingat insyaAllah. Anyway, all the best to all Malaysian's athlete. semoga taun ni kita boleh dapat emas sulung olimpik. Kemonnnn

Opening and Closing Ceremonies
Concept of Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony“Worlds we share”*
The Olympic Games have come to a close.
During these past 17 days, we have witnessed individuals from a variety of cultures and backgrounds
reach new heights together and connect through sport.
The Games have and will provide us with food for thought about diversity and inclusion as we continue on to the Paralympic Games. Even if we cannot be together, we can share the same moment, and that is something that we will never forget. It is this salient message which we believe will create a Closing Ceremony that will open the door to a brighter future.
We hope that this ceremony may be a moment for each and every one of us to think about what the future holds.
*The concept "Worlds We Share" expresses the idea that each of us inhabits their own world.
