According to media reports, the Tokyo Olympics are expected to be held with a maximum of 10,000 spectators at each venue at each day, in spite of the advise by the medical expert group that this event should be held without spectators.
By the way, the Japanese Prime Minister has announced that he will hold safety and security at the Tokyo Olympics.
Perhaps, this "safety and security" is not based on the power of science, but on the power of Kotodama, the mysterious power of words that affect the real world, which was believed mainly in ancient Japan.
Generally, most modern Japanese people will go to the hospital instead of shaman who can tell something holy words, if they get sick.
Certainly, the power of Kotodama may be important in Japan at present still, but I think the power of science is more important for "safety and security" in the modern society, and it is probably the same in Japan at present.
