Unfortunately, with worldwide lockdowns on the horizon (or already taking place), I have no choice, but to report on the Coronavirus. Specifically in regard to the Olympics this summer, Japan is given no choice, but to close their gates this summer due to threats of the Coronavirus outbreak. Due to this sudden transition in dynamic and safety, frustrated athletes worldwide, disappointed spectators, and a huge hit on the economy, as those who projected widespread profits from the Tokyo Olympics are all sacrificed-- as well as Prime Minister Abe's future as his political reputation is brought into question. This is unfortunately not the first time Prime Minister Abe's first mishap in office. After making the effort to include more women within the workplace ("womenconomics," as Abe himself dubbed the term), Abe hired more female senior advisors to work with him as well as made quotas nationwide for women to be included. His victory was unfortunately short-lived when the new members he hired were caught in the midst of workplace scandals and had to be fired. This brought Abe's hope of a more progressive and dynamic Japan at a slow down as women to this day still are not seen as equals. Although Abe only has the right intentions in mind, the results of his actions don't turn out the best.
