A recent poll published in Japan by a national daily newspaper found that more than 80% of Japanese people are oppose to hosting the Olympics this year. The 2020 games have already been postponed once but Olympics officials insist the event will go ahead. In this #youtubeshorts we break down the reasons why there is opposition to the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. First, is that is Covid-19, is still in circulation in Japan which only began vaccinating people in February. So far only around 10% of the population has been fully jabbed. Even though coronavirus numbers are low compared to places like India and the United State, there have still been at least 14,600 deaths - compare that to neighbouring South Korea where just 2,000 people have died. Also, international travel to the Tokyo Games is not permitted by the Japanese government but up to 10,000 Japanese fans will still be allowed to watch. Many say this creates a risk of the virus spreading. Finally, the games' budget was set at 12.6 billion dollars but there are reports the actual cost could be double. Many say the money should rather be spend on trying to stop the Covid-19 pandemic. Subscribe to #BBCMyWorld #shorts here: https://bit.ly/3wxzdPx
