    How refreshing to read news from (I assume) and about the Co-Vid pandemic response by the Cuban government, given the near zero coverage provided in the Main stream Press with in America. From all indications, relative to the U.S. Government response to this threat to its people; their (U.S.) leadership would be well advised to beg the Cuban Government for guidance. Speaking as one born in the Midwest of America I appreciate Cuba's interest in caring for humanity even though their neighbors demonstrate a disdain for their own.
