No. More than 80% are against doing Olympics during COVID lockdown.

I think the majority is for a non-COVID olympics.

There’s no lockdown (as this is normally understood) in Japan. This concept doesn’t really exist (because it’s legally difficult to implement without changing the constitution as I understand it).

There’s a state of emergency in Tokyo (now expanded to surrounding areas). But this doesn’t really restrict people very much.

Yes, the majority are against holding the Olympics now (or cancelling it if it’s not possible to postpone). But you’d likely find support for delaying the Olympics until after COVID-19 (whenever that might be).

When you phrase it like that it has me imagining make the 100m sprint for Covid athletes (maybe 80% SpO2?). It sounds quite interesting. So I guess I’m now part of the 20%.
