Most Japanese Want Olympics Cancelled

A new poll found that nearly 60% of people in Japan want the Olympic Games to be cancelled, less than three months before they are due to open in Tokyo.

“Japan has extended a state of emergency in Tokyo and several other regions until the end of May as it struggles to contain a surge in Covid-19 cases fuelled by new, more contagious variants, with medical staff warning that health services in some areas are on the verge of collapse.”
