Cuba is not the only tourist destination in which Spanish tourists come down with tropical diseases, but it stands out in two respects when compared with other nations in Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

First, unlike most other nations, Cuba refuses to acknowledge or tackle the existence of mosquito-borne epidemics. Second, unlike other third world hellholes, which routinely admit their deficiencies, Cuba claims to have one of the world’s most amazing healthcare and sanitation systems.

The bottom line is that Cuba can’t afford to scare away tourists. So, the superior beings go there to enjoy their superiority in apartheid enclaves and return home infected with chikungunya. Poetic justice?
