    The Corona Virus is the talk of the town right now, and the topic of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics being canceled has even been tossed around. As insane as that sounds, its enough to scare quite a few people. But let's step back and look at the bigger picture. Is that really likely? And as of right now, at the beginning of March 2020, what is the state of things?  In today's episode of the Tokyo Lens podcast by Norm Nakamura, this is exactly what we are talking about. Quite possibly one of the heavier podcast episodes we have done, but a topic that I really wanted to cover for the sake of preserving this moment, if nothing else.  The JapanToday Article https://japantoday.com/category/2020-tokyo-olympics/q-a-things-to-know-about-tokyo-olympics-and-spreading-virus Linus Tech Tips Vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPoPwrQwm_g ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a secret podcast available now!!
