Abe fuels anger; more recovered South Koreans test positive

A “stay home” message tweeted by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has fueled anger and accusations that he is insensitive toward people who cannot remain at home because the government’s social distancing measures are voluntary and don't provide compensation. The one-minute video released Sunday shows Abe sitting at home patting his dog, reading a book, sipping from a cup and clicking on a remote control. Abe declared a state of emergency in Tokyo and six other prefectures last Tuesday and broadened it nationwide on Saturday.
