You have a great point. Japan's COVID cases are on the rise, they have a low vaccinated population, sadly it sounds like a recipe for disaster. The NHL was able to have their playoffs in a "bubble" without any real issues. I wonder if it's possible to create a "bubble" to contain the Olympics or is that just too big to pull off. They postponed the Olympics for a year already, but big dollar sponsor's and TV rights may have a bigger say than common sense. It's all about the Benjamin's.

India’s excess deaths during Covid ‘could be 10 times official toll’
Study gives most comprehensive picture yet of true toll of pandemic in India
www.theguardian.com
The number of excess deaths in India during the Covid-19 pandemic could be 10 times higher than the official death toll, according to a study that estimates that between 3 million and 4.7 million more people died than would be expected between January 2020 and June 2021.
The study, carried out by the US-based Center for Global Development, examined three different sources of data to piece together one of the most comprehensive pictures yet of the pandemic in India.
Good news...WH will have '' regular contact'' with FOX on COVID and vaccination.....they need to reach FOX audience....it's not a political issue....it's a major health issue qui concerne tous les citoyens.....that's the way to go. 
That's certainly a good idea. Getting the word out to as many people as possible will save lives. The White House should have been doing this all along. Much like their regular contact with the other news agencies. All of this reminds of that one guy at work who blames everyone else for his mistakes or shortcomings instead of himself. The president is that guy. He needs to focus on the big problem here and find a solution to it. Instead the president chooses to headline many things that may be important, but they are not as important as encouraging people to get vaccinated. Using federal resources to help local governments combat this deadly virus would make a huge difference in many communities. Sending the VP to a section of the Mexican border with nobody illegally crossing just to get a photo op can be done later. Senator Rand Paul having a shouting match with Dr. Fauci, a man who's committed the last 4 decades of his life to helping saves lives is ridiculous and can be done later. US COVID cases are up 200% in the past two weeks and nobody at the top is stepping up to do something about it. If it's about the Delta variant running rampant amongst the unvaccinated then that's were the problem is. The states are closing down their large COVID vaccination sites which are mostly in the less rural parts of their states. The Fed needs to use more federal resources to get vaccination sites to communities with high infection rates, or better yet try to get there and promote vaccinations before infection rates start going up. The White House talking to Fox News is not the solution. The White House needs to get their shit together and focus on saving lives.
There are disturbing signs that the virus is surging—again. All 50 U.S. states are reporting a rise in cases with the national seven-day average passing 28,000, up from a low of 12,000 in late June.
Cases and hospitalizations are rising steeply in places where the percentage of population that is fully vaccinated is low. In more than three dozen counties in Missouri, for example, that percentage ranges from 15 percent to a high hovering around 35 percent—well below the national average of 48 percent. Arkansas, Florida, and Louisiana are also seeing significant outbreaks.

The Governor of Alabama, a Republican, is blaming the anti-vaxxers for causing the new pandemic in the States.
I`ll agree and I`ll go further......they are causing others with cancer and heart conditions to die because they are taking up spare beds.
One dumb woman with covid confessed that she still won`t get a vax when let out of hospital. She died the next day. Karma.

Cases continue to increase and we are still in summer. In past week 32 states saw their numbers going up by 50% and more.
[...] THOSE DATAS ARE FROM THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY. Don't shoot the messenger!
Meanwhile less than 50% are still fully vaccinated.

I'm not really following the Olympics but I do follow golf and two golfers - Bryson DeChambeau from the US and Jon Rahm from Spain are out of the Olympics after testing positive for COVID. What's unique about this story is that Jon Rahm had already tested positive for COVID a month ago then came back to win the US Open.

DeChambeau, Rahm test positive, out of Olympics
Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm are out of the Tokyo Olympics after both tested positive for COVID-19.
I have absolutly no sympathy for those dump persons.
If they die, i think it's Natural Selection acting.
The human race doesn't need them.
Earth is overpopulated anyway.

Le CANADA se classe 2ème derrière ISRAEL pour le pays ayant administré 2 doses....c'est bien mais encore du travail sur la planche d'autant plus que le rythme de vaccination semble diminuer......et 71,4 % avec une dose.
BTW le Canada dispose de plus de 66 millions de doses presque le double de ses besoins.....alors pourquoi ne pas en distribuer aux pays en grand besoin....faut pas oublier que c'est un combat GLOBAL et devons assumer nos responsabilités .
