Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he asked all elementary, middle and high schools to remain shut until spring holidays begin in late March.“The coming week or two is an extremely important time,” Abe said. “This is to prioritize the health and safety of the children and take precautions to avoid the risk of possible large-scale infections for many children and teachers who gather and spend hours together every day.

There’s a chance for us that we’re going to experience something like we’ve never seen in our lifetime before. And people are fucking around. Look who we elected. Now with a 3% mortality rate and he doesn’t think it’s serious. Lol. Clinton wasn’t better. Just saying.
