We in the U.K don't want your chlorinated,GMO trash food.

Organic, hormone free local meat is for the richer better off people in the states..

Seeing as 27,000,000 Americans can't even afford health care the majority eat GM mass produced factory farmed chlorinated meat stop kidding yaself.

chlorinated U.S chicken and hormone growth promoted pork and beef.

I avoid U.S meat for health reasons.

むり！

A reduction in consumption tax from 10 % back to say 5 % would help a lot more than wasting $435,000,000 on a load of tiny dirty masks.

The Abe government is a joke.

The 'special' relationship with the USA is a load of rubbish..

Tired of being a lapdog to the man child in the White House.

The woman who killed Harry Dunn should face trial in the UK asap!

Abenomask!

The right man to bankrupt the ailing Japanese economy!

Vote Jiminto and see your taxes wasted on masks ,Aegis destroyers and the resurfacing of my roads all the while they line THEIR OWN POCKETS!!

lack of care in the community and terrible social services !

what a sad country Japan has become.

Donald Trump has said coronavirus will “go away without a vaccine” and is expecting 95,000 or more deaths in the US, as Mike Pence’s press secretary tested positive for coronavirus, reports Alison Rourke in our latest global report on the coronavirus pandemic.

> *The president’s comments, at an event with Republican lawmakers, capped a horror week in the US, in which it was revealed unemployment had risen to 14.7%, up from 3.5% in February, with 20 million people losing their jobs in April.*

The news that Mike Pence’s press secretary Katie Miller had Covid-19, having recently tested negative, again brought the danger of the virus to the White House inner circle. Katie Miller is married to the White House immigration adviser and speech writer Stephen Miller. On Thursday one of Trump’s personal valets tested positive to the virus.

95,000 ...& Trump hails it a success..

sigh..

Couldn't make this up!

What a joke!!!!

Abe....disgrace.

@ Brian Wheway..

30k deaths in Uk from Corona mate..

Bit different to here pal.

Eastern bloc is getting hit hard ...Russia's hospitals and front line staff are also dying in large numbers.

70 % duped.

what lockdown?

still waiting for my tiny stained masks and my ¥100,000...

Seems like everything takes forever here...

what a loada bureaucracy!!!

The average Japanese 'regrets' having you for a PM too you out of touch aristocrat!

robots ~ zzzzz

Leadership on the Coronavirus after the Olympics was cancelled you mean?

Coz before that I saw NO leadership on this matter AT ALL!

Absolutely farcical !

Continued excessive drinking may have a negative impact on one's health and relationships.

You don't say!!!!

@ commanteer No country can handle a police state. But I see a lot of people in a lot of countries demanding one. 

people ? you mean the governments?

or big business?

no one wants a police state!!

$435,000,000 spent (wasted!!)on cloth masks ! ¥466 yen a mask that is too small for your face ! tainted dirty and doesn't fit properly!

Outsourced to China!!!:-o

Total and utter waste of our tax and the masks are not even made domestically !!!

What a shambles!!!!!!

stay home..telework..avoid this and that..

here are your two masks and ¥100,000 ...that do?

it's a joke!!!!

Compare this to the UK, whose free "NHS" (National Health Service), which is already over-stretched (after dealing with the pandemic for longer) :

NHS is massively underfunded & understaffed thanks to years of Tory cut backs!!!

free? no !!high taxes pay for it!

clueless misinformed people everywhere!!

@HBJ..no gyms are closed,sports centers also...many restaurants and izakayas are also closing especially the chain ones ...some smaller restaurants are still open at night though.

THE LACK OF PROPER financial support for small to medium sized businesses is the problem.

If they are compensated for closing down for a month then I am sure more places would follow the government 'advice' until then we will all make do with 2 masks at a cost to the tax payer of $435,000,000!!( ¥500 a mask that is ineffective).

I am sure that a 'friend' of Abe won this lucrative contract and it wasn't put out to bid coz the price is overinflated!

Abe is a disgrace.

$435,000,000 !!!

jesus wept!!!

well said Bjorn!

perfectly said.

Pukey 2 I have been using Zoom in my company for 2-3 months now.

Not everyone is stuck in the stone age please stop generalising.

the Japanese constitution doesn't not allow for an enforced lockdown we all know that.

Without a fundamental change to the constitution it won't happen and only loose guidelines and 'onegais' can be given.

Rustom sorry

@Aly Rastom..

cheers mate gotta say it how it is ain't we....the abe /moringa family really make me sick.

she is a disgrace like her out of touch husband!
