Masayoshi Son, founder of SoftBank Group Corp., took to Twitter to blast the Japanese government’s response to the coronavirus outbreak, adding to criticism as the country tries to deal with a recent surge in infections.
Son picked up on comments from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe about curtailing social interactions by 70% or 80% and said it is impossible to reach those goals because of the government’s financial response. Japan declared a state of emergency in seven prefectures including Tokyo this week.
