The Associated Press has an article from Tokyo (printed in many USA newspapers today) saying that they don't plan to cancel the Olympics and Paralympics but the Olympics CEO is "seriously worried that the spread of the infectious disease could throw cold water on the momentum toward the Games" [apparently translated from Japanese by the reporter]. There's concern about the Olympic Village and whether athletes will be able to concentrate on sport.
Further discussion centers on travel restrictions, confusion, and possible fears of visitors.
The Wuhan virus is thrown in as a problem like cybersecurity and transportation. It's claimed that the IOC is confident regarding preparations.
