Having just experienced the "cheek to jowl" feeling of an airport's rat maze in Havana last month, see above, I can somewhat commiserate with the hordes of Americans crammed into close quarters at 13 of our nation's airports this weekend trying to get home from overseas before everything grinds to a halt.

And like just about everywhere else on earth, Cuba finally popped up on the "Corona map" last week with four Italians bringing the virus along with them on their Caribbean vacation. The contamination confirmation happened last week in the 500+ year-old colonial town of Trinidad in the province of Sancti Spiritus, roughly four and half hours from Havana. The group traveled through Jose Marti International Airport in Havana, so one can only assume the virus will take hold in the capital as well.
