How much money normally goes into the Olympics? Must be like, several billion right?
 
It would suck to see all that money going to waste if it does get cancelled, I rallyhope it’s not the case.

@icey wicey 1517  
For a capital like Tokyo? Probably billions, yes.
 
The problem won’t be money spent as much as money invested; money spent got people paid, but money in failed invested will trickle down do regular people getting boned.

Olympics are a net loss anyway, too bad for Tokyo.

Salt Lake City is looking to host them, again. As if the 2002 Winter Games weren’t enough for them.

There would be worldwide outrage if the Olympics were canceled.
 
I mean, I totally understand WHY they’d be canceled, but there would still be a lot of outrage.

@SombrLiz  

 
That gives me hope.
 
Still sad that it takes a literal crisis/tragedy like this to bring people together.

@Random-Rambling  
It won’t last, believe me. Once it’s over, it’ll be a month or so till China starts butting heads with Asean countries again.
 
Yes, I am being a bit biased about this. My country’s been arguing with China for ages.

Iranian Health Minister tested positive for CoronaVirus
 
Yes! That’s right. The guy who’s supposed to be in charge of overseeing the health of the citizens in his country has contracted the virus himself. That can’t be a good omen…

Funny how these social media platform are failing to go after those who spread dangerous health quackeries like this. In fact, their algortihims even allow such ads that promote this kind of spiel to proliferate on their side bars. Yet they seem to have sufficient resources to cracking down on those who say the “wrong things” online.
 
This is retarded. Just like that “Skull Breaker” challenge that spread on TikTok.

Anti pipeline protesters in Canada try to set train on fire.  
Nope not protesters. Terrorists. And they need to be shot.

@lonewolf  
Totally the way to get people to support you. They can ask the likes of ISIS on how their radical stance ain’t alienating the masses.

@Typhoon2000  
Woo! No school!

@Typhoon2000  
If public schools in the UK are anything like the public schools in the US, then I say: “Good! Let them close for a couple of months.”

@Random-Rambling  

 
Im so conflicted, I want to see what the opening and ending ceremonies for the Tokyo Olympics are like but I also want the human race to not die off in a few months…

@Background Pony #D5BD  
Fucking hell, how many times do I have beat this into fucking thing into your paranoid skulls. WE ARE ALL NOT GOING TO FUCKING DIE!!

YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
 

@Typhoon2000  
It’s just temporary.

@SombrLiz  
Sorry I kinda overreacted until my mom gave a good point about the closure. This isn’t the first time the resort has been closed for a long period of time, The resort was closed for 1 month after the horrific Earthquake and Tsunami in March 2011.
