Even with no spectators, to have thousands of people (athletes and their entourages) from all over the globe flying in to an area where the doctors and nurses (your proverbial boots on the ground) already feel overwhelmed by the hospital admissions is not medically smart. It's an easy medical answer.
It's an easy medical answer (as it is in our country), but politics and money are at play (as they are in our country). Plus there is the added complication that hundreds of athletes have trained for years and this may be their only chance.
This is a tough one, and I don't have an answer.

Like everything else they touch, they've turned the Olympics into a political joke.

And what about the 22 Winter Olympics in China? Should free world countries boycott it, because of the human rights abuses, and Uighur genocide, in China?

wasn't the original spirit of the olympics to pause and put aside world events (fights and disagreements) and get together for good hearted physical competition?

faack even Nazi Germany was invited.. Jesse Owens story stuff.
