Yokohama also had a heavy rain and lightning in a.m. I saw sunshine at the same time so it was sunshower.
COVID-19, Record breaking heavy rain, One year delayed Olympic and Paralympic, Typhoon, all at once.
We just accept, and do what we can do with what we have.
As a best option, Olympic Village and game venues are only for limited certified people. No one who has COVID-19 can enter.
So what else we can do more than that, who can make it better and safer? It’s up to an individual consciousness and carefulness.
Like, when you are with a handful of stuff, being in a hurry, being busy with chatting, therefore skip washing hands,
that single action may cause COVID, and later you’ll have PCR positive,
that is too much but need to think that way now.
There is no “whatever”, “who care”, “I don’t know”.
I hope that all of athletes to stay away from any risk, only they can protect themselves.
Most of us have been doing our part to not spread COVID-19 anymore, regardless of agree/disagree with 2020 Tokyo.
We are wearing masks almost 100% (Shibuya live stream) unless having medical reason, washing hands every time there’s a chance, and rubbing hands by alcohol every time there is a disinfection solution.
Delta definitely became more infectious to stop with conventional public health methods we have been relying on.
This morning I watched Ohtani-san after a while. Usually his games on BS NHK but for now Ohtani-san is being on a cable tv, for Olympic/Paralympic games.
Olympic first week has ended, we’ve been watching games from early morning to evening everyday.
And now I become wanting official products of “2020 Tokyo”.
Then, last night my partner gave me these socks. it’s ASICS. He got it via Amazon.
In Pairs
Learned that ASICS is one of official sponsors of Japan team for 2020 Tokyo.
It’s red, also look like pink and orange. A warm cheerful color.
I’ll keep these with a label. It’s too precious to actually put on.
Mixture of bright colors!
I’m happy that I was able watch 2020 Tokyo up until now, at the same time 2020 Tokyo should not go on without second thought just because it has begun.
Even all of spectators have been canceled, road race related games are available! I just saw on tv that many spectators are beside the course and it’s really nice 👍.
2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic has begun on 23rd July, maybe for that reason Thursday and Friday on last week were made holiday specifically this year.
During four days, enjoyed games like a softball, judo, football, weightlifting, and 3on3 basketball.
And this morning, a triathlon from 6:30!
They just restarted though.
It’s held in Odaiba, and the water quality of Odaiba was once unqualified due maximum 21 times of coliform bacteria detection in the water, that has been improved by installing a screen. Safer and cleaner now.
I love swim part, they make two circles of the course so they are back to a landing stage and dive into the water again. I always think they look like fishes, a queer scene but beautiful.
Even the athlete very low ranking after swim, he’ll recover his rank gradually during bike and run.
And they run last 100m with full force with all their strength to beat each other, it looks like sprint.
It’s really fortunate without rain, if it’s rain the water quality would have been affected.
While I’m in a meeting, I really listen carefully what people are talking and complement unspoken words to complete sentences to process Japanese to English translation.
When we talk in Japanese, we start talking about something w/o S in S + V + O syntax.
ところで、あれってどうなってましたか？
Often like, ah, what’s the current status of?
For S, I need to find out from the following (or previous) conversation or minutes of meeting and add.
Not sure if this patchwork translation/interpretation is working as expected but at least English speakers are not left behind. Or don’t have to feel so.
One hour input/output, then reset. And start over.
I’ve had experiences of meeting interpretation for an app development in the past.
Japanese client talks in Japanese -> convert into English (by me) -> Vietnamese programmers listen.
Q and A case
Vietnamese programmers talk in English -> convert into Japanese (by me) -> Japanese client listens.
It’s been rainy days for two weeks and yesterday finally sunshine was back, I did laundry twice and hanging clothes and futon outside.
Then I went to the office for vaccination.
If you received a shot or shots, which one did you get, Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca?
Any side effect/ after effect?
This morning it was sunny and hot, nice weather for jogging but I better avoid exercising for a few days.
Moderna vaccine gave me a fever, chills and headache from this noon.
It won’t happen often, it rarely happens.
For years I haven’t had a fever like this. Forgetting the tiredness from cold.
It is Moderna. Reason is obvious so there is no concern.
When having injury, cold, or even feeling down, I realize how graceful having a healthy body that will most likely be back in days. It is time for being patient.
Silently laying in futon, thinking about how fortunate I was to be able to receive vaccine.
My toes are cold but my face is hot.
And my stomach making noises for a meal but don’t have appetite.
Let’s see. This shall go away in days.
I didn’t expect these symptoms occurring at this morning so enjoyed 10min bike. I was mistaken.
A bike for rainy season, mid winter and intense heat.
My mom received Pfizer and she got a fever too, my body is trying to build protection against Covid.
Tokyo 2020 without spectators, that is correct judgement and that is really unfortunate.
I stay home, watching games as much as possible through screens.
