Cuba is in a dire situation. COVID-19 is spreading widely throughout the population, primarily in the larger cities. The tourist trade (beaches, hotels, and foreign visitors) is virtually non-existent. One news report stated that overall visits to the Island are down about 95 percent from 2019. The multi-national trade embargo has effectively crushed the economy, totally impoverishing nearly the entire general population. Food rationing and hunger are evident everywhere. Medicine and primary health care have dwindled to a trickle.
