It's a good news/bad news situation in Japan.
Organizers for this summer's Tokyo Olympics have decided to allow fans to attend the events of the Games, but with a couple of catches.
First, all venues will be limited to either 50% of capacity or 10,000 fans.
Second, fans in attendance will NOT be allowed to cheer for the athletes.
Finally, fan attendance will be limited to only residents of Japan.
Japan is far behind the USA in terms of vaccinations. According to the New York Times, only about 18% of the Japanese population has received even one dose of the vaccine, and roughly 7.3% of the populace has been fully vaccinated.

Don't expect to see Johnny Bench at the upcoming Baseball HOF induction ceremonies. Despite being fully vaccinated, Bench has tested positive for COVID19, and as a result had chosen not to attend.

The Washington Nationals have apparently become the first MLB team to terminate employees based on their refusal to get a COVID19 vaccination.
The Nats are taking 8 of their scouts off the payroll, 2 of them being for their refusal to get vaccinated.
