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.
Personally I would agree with you. But it does mean that there needs to be a plan to support those whose livelihoods depend on this work. Where I live the economy is almost completely dependent on tourism and it's going to be a huge problem.
However, I'd hope that we'd be able to take a more intelligent approach and find a way to adapt to change rather than just saying "that's how the economy's always worked, so that's how it has to keep working."
