In many parts of China, it will be 30C hotter and 50%p more humid in the summer than it is now. The combination might reduce R to virtually nothing.

In Japan, this could mean that it was the right decision to schedule the Olympics in the middle of summer after all.




I'm pretty sure that the Olympics will be cancelled. It's unlikely that we'll have a vaccine before then and Covid19 is well beyond containment at this point.


Abe is dead set on hosting the Olympics one way or another, so he might try to reschedule it... to a time of year when R is higher. :(


There will be all kind of athletes ill. Especially sucks if you're part of a team. I mean, for individuals as well, but as team you rely on each other's strengths even more. Gonna be interesting for sure.
