There is a sense of a political power vacuum opening up, in anticipation of Abe San press conference.
Maybe Abe San will confirm he well enough to continue.
However,
A loyal lieutenant of Abe, Suga is considered a key decision-maker on economic policy "I meet the prime minister twice a day, but I don't see any change in his health," Suga said.
Which suggests otherwise, heads of factions jockeying for position to make their case.
Aso has already thrown his hat, and with respect, walking frame into the political void opening up.

About time. Small businesses can't weather the economic storm for much longer.

Present Japanese "neo-liberalism" government denies second state of emergency, also denies drastic expansion of virus test or isolation facilities, and prioritizes economy than Covid19 measure.
They are victimizing human-lives day by day to protect profit of large corporations under the name of "re-open economy".
Ordinary citizen in Japan have no way to protect themselves from Covid19 except individual effort.
