The International Paralympic Committee, the games' organizing committee, the Tokyo metropolitan government and the Japanese government agreed earlier this week to bar spectators at all Paralympic venues, which are located in Tokyo and the prefectures of Chiba, Saitama and Shizuoka.

But they confirmed that as an exception, students of local schools taking part in a government-backed educational program will be allowed to watch competitions in person, if municipalities and schools wish.
If I recall correctly the figure being thrown around was ~100,000 children

The argument being that this is a "Once in a lifetime opportunity for these children." ... what can I say but "for some, it may indeed be..." lol, lmao

I always thought it was some sort of enema, so it being orally administered (apple flavor!) is kinda boring tbh

Edit: What? No. No, I don't think that me fantasizing about wheezy chuds giving each other horse dewormer enemas is troubling, why are you asking?

quote:

On December 9, 2005, after the Sixers defeated the Charlotte Bobcats, Iverson paid a late-night visit to the Trump Taj Mahal. After winning a hand at a three-card-stud poker table, Iverson was overpaid $10,000 in chips by a dealer. When the dealer quickly realized the mistake and requested the chips back, Iverson refused, and a heated head-turning argument between him and the casino staff began. Atlantic City casino regulations reportedly state that when a casino makes a payout mistake in favor of the gambler, the gambler must return the money that they did not legitimately win.[122]

hey look at that. it inexplicably and suddenly drops dramatically in the past few days. that's great news! covid is over

The drop isn't a prediction. it's the incomplete data they have, and they know it's incomplete, that's why the last week is shaded on the graph. Data doesn't come in complete batches every day, it might show up 12-48+ hours later. Whenever the gently caress all the hospitals, testings centers, clinics, and grfters get around to doing the data entry and emailing off an XLS to the health dept.

New guidelines eyed for issuing, ending state of emergency

https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/14421871

quote:

The government is considering changing its guidelines for declaring and lifting a COVID-19 state of emergency by placing more emphasis on the medical care structure instead of infection numbers, sources said.
The possible shift would be aimed at ensuring health care systems do not become overstrained, a problem facing many local governments in the latest surge of the novel coronavirus, they said.

This is in the middle of the biggest, deadliest wave so far.
Which already has completely overwhelmed medical care.

Melissa Joan Hart gained fame in the early 90s for a Nickelodeon sitcom called "Clarissa Explains It All", where she'd go through the motions of being a middle-class American teenager, but she'd also break the fourth wall by addressing the audience directly about how she feels regarding the current episode's conflict or issue.

go enjoy stuff and find some hobbies before things get worse before they get better again and then predictably another major annoying catastrophe hits
