Japan is USA's no:1 puppet. No further comment!

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe & the government, you are two months too late. Crickey, PRC Tests should take top priority. Procrastination can kill! Speed can SAVE!

My friends in Chiba have not receive the poor standard cheap second rate masks. It is only a pair of masks for one household and one size - so not for small children. The Japanese civil servants are spending tax payers money on all fronts. The least Japanese members of Japanese House of Representatives can do is to donate their JYE100,000 to medical support team or to purchase medical shields and proper gowns. Where is Japan's Captain Tom Moore, I wonder? If a hundred year now Colonel can organise such a big charity, why is nobody organising any donation to the hard-working medical team. Is it only myself that I have NOT heard of Red Cross assisting with COVID-19 Virus issues?

Prime Minister Abe should have used the very low quality Abenomasks & its money for the medical staff support and short supply gowns & face shields instead. As a leader he cannot prioritise which is more important - economy or lives. Perhaps Japan needs a female leader ( Never Akie, his wife, God bless!) like late Margaret Thatcher who takes speedy action in times of emergency similar to war situation. There is too much bureaucracy here and the Kanryos still stick to their territory. One of the reasons for very few PCR tests taking place. Many universities and private companies can extend these tests to 20,000 daily, but hampered by useless red tape & civil servants.
