Cases in Tokyo have been steadily on the rise, triggering fears the games would accelerate the spread of the coronavirus. �I have made clear that having no spectators is a possibility,� Suga said as he noted Tokyo's rising caseloads.Western New Mexico Mustangs

(Reuters) -U.S. soccer player Alex Morgan leaves for the Tokyo Olympics in a week's time but says she is still unsure whether eased coronavirus restrictions for nursing mothers will allow her to bring her 1-year-old daughter with her. Some athletes have complained that they are being forced to choose between the Games and their young children but organisers told Reuters on Wednesday "when necessary, nursing children will be able to accompany athletes to Japan". Organisers have barred family members of athletes from attending the Games due to COVID-19 safety protocols, while foreign spectators have been excluded and limits will be placed on domestic crowds.Western New Mexico Mustangs

The pressure of hosting an Olympics during a still-active pandemic is beginning to show in Japan. While Japan has made remarkable progress to vaccinate its population against COVID-19, the drive is losing steam because of supply shortages. With tens of thousands of visitors coming to a country that is only 13.8% fully vaccinated, gaps in border controls have emerged, highlighted by the discovery of infections among the newly arrived team from Uganda, with positive tests for the highly contagious delta variant.Western New Mexico Mustangs

TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan is looking at barring all but VIP spectators at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, a newspaper said on Tuesday, another downgrade for Games that have their pomp and public spectacle overshadowed by the coronavirus pandemic. Once promoted as an extravaganza to showcase Japan to the world, the Games appear in danger of taking place largely out of public view in a country closed to foreign tourists due to the pandemic. The Games, already delayed a year, are set to open on July 23 despite concern that an influx of tens of thousands of people from around the world could unleash another wave of infections.Western New Mexico Mustangs

Seems like the league is trying to push without pushing. It shouldn't be an issue for 1st and 2nd team players, but if you're barely hanging on to your locker and you infect a star who misses a game, the chances of continuing are probably greatly reduced. Probably a good idea for the bottom 20 or so to get the vax. No reason to make it easier to cut you though they certainly won't use the real reason.
