The Tokyo Medical Practitioners Association representing about 6,000 primary care doctors said hospitals in the Games host city "have their hands full and have almost no spare capacity" amid a surge in infections.
Other health experts and medical groups have voiced their concerns about the Olympics, while an online petition calling for the Games to be canceled was signed by hundreds of thousands of people. Underscoring the challenges with the vaccinations, booking systems for mass inoculation sites being launched in Tokyo and Osaka - which started accepting bookings on Monday - were marred by technical glitches.
But multiple pre-Olympic training camps, including one for the United States' track and field team have been canceled, and athletes have voiced concerns about the Games taking place in the midst of a global pandemic.
Obviously, there’s a pandemic going on, dah!!
Good for them!🙂🙂
