A few years after I joined the company, I was the head of the company's tennis club.

On the day of the in-house tennis tournament, it had been heavy raining since the morning, so I sent an email to the participants instructing them to cancel the tournament.

In the afternoon, however, the weather changed and it became sunny.

Some of the participants complained, "The weather forecast said it would be sunny in the afternoon...."

However, I wanted to ask them

"Would you be able to make the decision to hold the game in the afternoon while watching the heavy rain pour down?"

Even if the weather cleared in the afternoon, the event would only be postponed.

It should be much better than forcing the game to be played in the rain.

Thus, "cancel" or "postpone" is the optimal strategy to 'postpone the problem'.

However, it is also true that "cancel" or "postpone" is a card that cannot be played again and again.

In the above example, for the next tournament, we will be forced to make a decision between 'playing in a downpour' or 'cancelling this year's in-house tournament'.

If you are in charge of implementation, it is only natural that you would be more likely to choose to hold the game in a downpour.

...No, no, it's just a memory.

Oh, by the way, it seems that yesterday, the fourth state of emergency was declared + the decision was made to hold the Tokyo Olympics in one or three prefectures "without spectators".
