The 1968 Mexico City games were also held in October (ended on the 27th) and the 1956 Melbourne games were held in November and December (ended on the 8th), so there is nothing sacred about the games having to be held in July. I agree that holding the games some time before the end of 2020 would be far preferable to pushing them to 2021, if prudent from a public health standpoint of course.
