It couldn't hurt. And I'm talking about ONLY the sport of athletics. If the Olympics get cancelled and the other 49 sports in the Olympics don't get their acts together, that's their problem.

Its the IOC, not world athletics that runs the olympics. Unless quarantines are successful or a vaccine is invented, if its spread enough, just choosing a site outside Asia won't be enough. They won't do that though, people have bought tickets, infrastructure has been built. Now world athletics could choose to hold a world championship type event for track&field if the olys is cancelled, but the more likely scenario is worlds next year doubles in importance for t&f.
I do know that there was an article in one of the UK papers claiming that London would be ready to step in and host.

That would be embarrassing. If the Olympics is cancelled then they should have their own championship ready and it should be branded as the Olympics (without all the horse riding and Tai Chi sideshows)
