A number of news stories have emerged over the last week claiming that the Olympics could be cancelled. But this one coming from a Japanese minister is the most serious. Dick Pound and Thomas Bach have also made counter claims that the Olympics will go ahead and that there is no plan B. The fact that IOC members had to issue those statements suggests the situation is becoming far more concerning for the Japanese government
It’s a very tough situation, the Japanese are in a very difficult place with rising cases and deaths, I hope other options are at least considered, an Olympics with no spectators would be far better than no Olympics at all
