SALUTE Cuba, they have allowed an infected ship to visit their island and keep their economy going. This nonsense about a pandemic is a conspiracy from the insurance companies to avoid claims, and capitalist profit making organisation that rely on ignorance of most normal citizens. The stats of Cuba infection rates will be critical in limiting more messing up by panicking politicians, who are protecting themselves by saying their health systems don't have enough ventilators to meet the crisis.
Thanks everyone for your responses. I agree that this is a pandemic and we all need to take extra care by distancing ourselves from other people, washing hands etc. BUT NOT PANIC which will wreck the economy whilst we are being extra careful.
A sensible approach may be.
1] Advise over 70's to be extra careful and try to avoid close contact with ordinary people as they are most at risk.
2] Ordinary people and children should be aware that they need to keep extra clean
3] Workers who can; should work at home without reduction in pay.
4] Workers who work in food, entertainment, hospitality, tourism etc. should be given masks and protective areas to work in where possible BUT not become unemployed and face most terrible hardships.
5] No projects, building works, should be delayed by the virus; just continue as carefully as possible to avoid contact with others
NOTE. If unemployment rises above 10% then devastating inflation is unavoidable
