Asahi’s ‘double standard’ against hosting Olympics Anti-regime, anti-conservative, anti-Japanese
The following is from the serial column of Ms. Yoshiko Sakurai, who brings the weekly Shincho released today to a successful conclusion.
This treatise also proves that she is a national treasure defined by Saicho, the supreme national treasure.
Asahi’s ‘double standard’ against hosting Olympics
It decided on July 8 that the Tokyo Olympics would go ahead without spectators.
On June 21, it announced that the maximum number of spectators would be 10,000 within 50% of the capacity of each venue, but it reversed the number in just over two weeks.
The Tokyo Organizing Committee decided for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, the Japanese government, the International Olympic Committee, and the International Paralympic Committee. Still, it is Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga who is facing the brunt of the situation.
Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s reputation is not good. He is overly concerned about public opinion and cannot decide on measures to deal with the Wuhan virus depending on public opinion.
On July 6, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology Koichi Hagiuda announced that the world’s most powerful supercomputer, Fugaku, had predicted the risk of infection if 10,000 spectators were allowed into the national stadium.
According to the report, even if there are ten infected people in the audience, if there are empty seats and each person takes measures such as wearing a mask, there will be less than one new case of Wuhan virus infection.
Less than 1 in 10,000 people is an infection rate of less than 0.01%, close to as zero as possible.
Even if 10,000 people were crowded together and the wind changed direction, the maximum number of infected people would be 4.7, or 0.047%.
Even with 10,000 people in the stadium, there would be almost no new infections if people avoided close quarters and wore masks.
The original capacity of the National Stadium was 68,000, and it can accommodate 10,000 people without any problem.
Vaccinations, which Prime Minister Suga is putting all his energy into, will also proceed.
Considering this and other factors, I think it would be suitable for those involved in the Games to hold the Games with 10,000 people with confidence.
On July 9, I invited economic critic Jyonen Tsukasa to discuss “The Olympics and the Asahi Shimbun” on the Internet-delivered “speech TV.
We examined the cases of countries with far more infected people than Japan fighting the Wuhan virus by holding various sporting events.
We agreed that the decision to have no spectators at the Tokyo Olympics was an overreaction.
“In the U.K., more than 60,000 fans gathered for the European soccer championships and went wild. There was a slight increase in the number of infections, but the British health minister, Javid, said: ‘Football tournaments increase the number of infections. We are only talking about the coronavirus. We cannot live only thinking about the coronavirus. We need to think about other health issues, economic issues, and education issues as well. If the government clearly explains the situation and makes a decision like this, the people will be satisfied. This is not the case in Japan,” said Mr. Jyonen.
As mentioned above, it made a series of decisions through a five-way discussion that included the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
Nevertheless, criticism is concentrated on one prime minister because the information dissemination power of the Prime Minister and the Suga administration is weak.
In addition, the media has been extremely uncooperative.
It is not to say that they do not follow the administration’s wishes.
I mean that the media uses anything and everything to bash the administration, and as a result, no information is conveyed correctly.
Anti-regime, anti-conservative, anti-Japanese
In a sense, public opinion depends on the media.
The media, especially the Asahi Shimbun, has gone so far astray that information is almost always distorted.
Anti-regime, anti-conservative, and anti-Japanese is the characteristics of Asahi.
A newspaper should explain the company’s theory in its editorials and develop a fair report that looks at the whole picture in the paper.
Asahi’s editorials are all about slamming the government.
It is Asahi’s argument, and we can only accept it as such.
However, the editorial demanded that the Olympics be canceled, and the official partner of the Olympics will not get off. On the sports front, they are trying to liven up the Olympic Games.
On the sports front, it is promoting the Olympic Games, and it is also promoting the high school baseball games at Koshien, which are scheduled to be held at the same time as the Olympics, but the reasons for doing so are contradictory.
Some of the reasons given by the editorialists for demanding that the Olympics be canceled apply directly to Koshien.
If you are a decent newspaper person, it would be strange if neither sports articles nor editorials argued that Koshien should be stopped.
For example, there are concerns about the spread of the Wuhan virus. it should also
If they are opposed to the spread of the virus at the Olympics, they should also be opposed to the Koshien, which attracts 47,000 people.
It would be strange if the Asahi side did not express a strong will to cancel the event or be no spectators.
The other issue is measuring against extreme heat.
Asahi cites extreme heat as one of the reasons for its demand to cancel the Olympics.
If this is the case, then it is the Koshien that should be canceled.
Mr. Ryusho Kadota has already pointed out the many problems with high school baseball with detailed explanations.
A literally hot battle is developed to create a moving story in the hottest summer, and Asahi makes it a business.
As a result, many talented ballplayers have broken their shoulders, elbows, and knees and cannot continue playing baseball.
It is time for a change in the way of doing business, which crushes the dreams of ballplayers and damages their healthy bodies with overcrowded schedules in the scorching summer heat.
