The evaluation period in Japan is about three months. If the epidemic prevention and control in Japan still does not improve after three months, then the Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan will be in danger of being cancelled. As we all know, after the Diamond Princess docked in Japan, the Japanese government's response measures were not good enough. After the observation period, local residents were allowed to take public transport, causing the first infected people to infect others once, which led to the widespread spread of the Japanese epidemic.
Since the outbreak of the Japanese epidemic, there have been rumors that the Japanese Olympic Games will be cancelled. However, the Japanese government has come out in time to refute rumors. After a while, the fever went down. However, just two days ago, International Olympic Committee member Pound said that if Japan could not remove the threat of the epidemic within a few months, the Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan would be cancelled and the venue would not be postponed or changed. Japan has invested so much human and financial resources that if it is cancelled, it will still have a great impact on the Japanese economy.
This is not the first time that Japan has cancelled the Olympic Games. As early as 1940, Japan cancelled the Tokyo Olympic Games because of the war. But today, 80 years later, Japan is threatened to cancel the Olympic Games again because of novel coronavirus. In fact, I think three months can completely control the epidemic in Japan. If we can't learn from China's urban closure, we should at least learn from China's propaganda. Otherwise, if the epidemic really breaks out for three months, I think the situation in Japan is not optimistic. Originally, the virus has caused great harm to the elderly, and Japanese society is so aging.
If we have to wait for the dust of the Japanese Olympic Games to settle, it may take three months to confirm.
