I give it another month. Hosting the Winter Olympics is guaranteed to bring in some Omicron where at which point it'll all be over, regardless of the precautions they have in place.

Nothing prevents them from turning the Olympic village into a quarantine ward, so to speak.

That covers the athletes but not the volunteers. I suspect that's what was driving the case numbers up during the Tokyo olympics.

No need to have volunteers. Seems like it would make more sense to have paid staff for everything, and pay them for a 2 week quarantine before going back to normal society. It can be done.
