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.
This is a deadly virus and downplaying it like Trump and Boris Johnson would not help at all - rather creating more deaths which IET member can not promote!!
Note that lower deaths due to car accidents are because of decades of safety enhancements from stricter driving rules and fines (speeding fines, parking fines, dangerous driving fines, ...) plus safety enhancements in car with crumple zones to absorb impact forces, seat belts, air bags, better brakes, engine going under passenger cubicle on frontal crash, etc. (never mind all the electronic safety warnings).
What is the equivalent for COVID-19? Nothing except wear masks, keep distance and venture out when necessary. Even the big denier Trump has grudgingly accepted on Fox News (!) that wearing masks will be a good idea.
Let us as professionals be prudent. Quote from NYT which you may wish to read. "
