According to the schedule of Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga published in Japanese newspapers, Suga has not taken a single day off since he took office on Sept. 16, and there are widespread rumors in Japan that Suga’s health is troubled.
Recently, Kan has been making a series of misstatements on different occasions.
On the evening of the 13th, at a meeting of the Headquarters for Countermeasures against New Infectious Diseases, he announced that seven prefectures, including Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, Aichi, Gifu, Tochigi, and Fukuoka, had been added to the emergency declaration, but he said “Shizuoka” instead of “Fukuoka,” which was instantly corrected by people at the meeting.
On this day, Prime Minister Kan inadvertently misread the original text and did not correct it. Later, the Prime Minister’s official website corrected the mistake, saying, “Prime Minister Kan misread Fukuoka Prefecture as ‘Shizuoka Prefecture’ when he read out the new target area of the emergency declaration.
Since the New Year, Prime Minister Kan has repeatedly made mistakes at press conferences and other public events, and voices of concern for the Prime Minister’s health have been raised in the media.
In order to avoid criticism of his inability to send a message, Kan has been increasing his press conferences and media appearances, but there have been many misstatements and statements of unclear semantics. On SNS, criticism of Kan was abundant, and after the 13th press conference, a famous singer wrote in a blog post that he “couldn’t turn his tongue,” “the same thing over and over again,” and “will he collapse from overworked and collapse?” And so on.
