▼ Mr. Tachibana said, "I will oppose excessive self-restraint. The second wave will probably not be prevented. We will be self-restrained mainly by people over the age of 60 who have a high mortality rate rather than everyone." ..
▼ Mr. Yamamoto said, “I have really screamed many people since the beginning of self-restraint without compensation. Every time there is an economic crisis, a disaster, or the spread of infectious diseases, many people are in poverty. Quit society."

▼Mr. Ono said, "I would like to postpone it to 2024. The infection situation one year later is very pessimistic. I heard that France in 2024 is also not ready, so I will explore the possibility." It was.
▼Mr. Tachibana said, “We will shift the Beijing Games in the winter four years later and the Tokyo Games two years later. Or we will shift the Paris Games four years later and do the Tokyo Games four years later. Let the IOC make the final adjustments. ".
