TOKYO - Perhaps the best that can be said about a “stay home“ tweet from Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is that it’s given bored copycats sitting at home waiting out the coronavirus ample inspiration. It apparently rubbed many people frustrated by Abe’s handling of the crisis the wrong way. Abe, like U.S. President Donald Trump, has faced accusations his moves to counter the coronavirus were too little, too late. Until late March, Abe’s administration was still insisting the Tokyo Olympics would go ahead as planned in July. The government asked people in those areas — later expanded to all of Japan — to stay at home.
