People Sceptical Tokyo Will Hold Olympics in 2021

A spokesman for the Tokyo Olympics expects the postponed games to go ahead in 2021 despite a recent poll in Japan in which 77% of respondents said they did not believe the games could be held next year.

The poll by the Japan News Network said only 17% thought it could be held next year in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.

Given that no one trust the Japanese statistics, nor handling of the outbreak, it is highly unlikely that the Olympics will go ahead in the Summer.
