The reality of a 4th Covid-19 wave is raising questions about July's Tokyo Olympics.
The Olympic torch is being relayed across Japan, but there are growing calls for the Games to be cancelled.
The Doctors Union says it is dangerous to go ahead, and the Asahi newspaper, one of the Games' sponsors, says the decision to carry on is beyond reason.
Opinion polls say a majority of Japanese don't want it at this time.
But the organisers and government are confident they will be able to pull it off.
So, can they succeed in hosting a safe Olympics?
