In a totalitarian state, they control everything. They’d force the people to stop breathing, but that would lead to bigger problems taking all the corpses from the stadium.

Who’s providing the tests?

Oh, imagine that... All the best American athletes are positive with COVID before their events and are not allowed to participate.

I have a feeling China is about to win the most gold medals of all the countries participating.

Clapping moves the air around thus spreading covid.

They've been totalitarian nightmare for some time. The torch and cauldron ceremony, which has become a symbol of the games, was invented for the 1936 Summer games, in Berlin

I bet there will still be an outbreak with dozens of cases.

Haha. Can you imagine all the best non-Chinese athletes testing positive before their events and not being able to compete? What a farce that would be.

I would think that China’s remedy for the Wuhan virus would be to shoot everyone who has symptoms or who has been exposed. Mao or Stalin would have been good with that.

That because Hemorrhagic Fever has taken its place. No cheering because you’ll be gargling blood!

If 10 years ago one wrote a dystopian sci-fi novel where cheering at sporting events was prohibited, people would consider it an absurd idea, even for sci-fi.
