Yes I do because that is helping to stop the spread of the virus. It is also protecting the players and the audience from getting covid-19.

Yes, I think it is a great decision because it is helping stop the virus. With that many people, it can spread very fast with that many people.

I think the Olympic Games being cancelled was a good idea because as the news said avoid gatherings of 50 or more people, and most of the people at the Olympic games are very talented so it would be very bad if they got sick.

i think that canceling the olympics till 2021 is a good idea. because the country's top athletes will most likely get infected. also if theres is a great abundance of people the virus will spread to them,duh. also it also has a higher chance of the virus mutating?

Yes, I think that it is a good decision because if there are lots of people around there is a higher risk of catching the virus. If one person there has it and doesn't know they could spread it to many more people.

I think the Olympics must be postponed, as this could mean that famous athletes could get the virus, and spread it to others, and the Olympics are a massive event so it would result in a bunch of people getting infected and as seen in Plague Inc, the Olympics is how everyone get's infected.

i know that there is a lot of people that go to the olympic games that have heart problems or cancer and they go there beliving they will grow up and become like the people playing. the fact is that they can catch the virus and they are more prone to catching it. plus a couple players may have problems as well which gives the virus a advantage on the player which would be very harmful to the olympic games.

I think Japan made a very useful and mandatory decision. The outbreak of the novel corona virus has taken the lives of many human beings and is affecting everyone. I think they made a great decision of postponing and not canceling. That way the lives of the athletes are not at risk,but also the hard work and troubles the athletes endured to get in the Olympics doesn't go to waste. It just gives the athletes one more year to get better and stronger.

I think that it was a wise decision to cancel the Olympic Games because there are huge gatherings for this event, and that increases the spread of COVID-19. This was a safe decision and an advantage for the athletes because they get an extra year to prepare for the Olympics, and they don't get sick.

I think it is a good decision, because a lot of people love the games and even if they went to a small game they have a super high risk of getting covid-19 and people can be so addicted to games they will just ignore the fact that they can get sick then die they will just go and it let the Olympic athletes have a little break and some more practice.

Since this corona virus is going around I think the games were postponed for a good reason. There are a lot of people there so there are more chances of you getting sick or possibly dying.

I think it is a good thing that they postponed sports, because thousands of people go to athletic events and they might be carrying an illness and they might give their illness to someone else.

I believe it is smart to reschedule it because it will give us more time to understand the virus and find safer ways of acting in the olympics.

I think it is good idea that they postponed the 2021 Olympics. It gives a chance for the athletes to be in their best condition. It is not safe to have such a big gathering with this virus going around. The situation could get worse than they already are.
