Trust the insurance companies to make a buck off of anything

Japan is an Island Nation - it has the power to stop this virus from coming into the Country and curtailing it's spread within it - pretty much like New Zealand has done.... so why hasn't it ?

JAL is backed by the Japanese government, so they can do this even if it makes no commercial sense.
Personally, I do not think the Japanese taxpayer should be on the hook for a Japanese person getting C19 and having a prolonged stay in a USA hospital.

Anyone know the difference here between a "product" and a "policy"?

I’ll be flying the end of next month-12 months without getting infected, I think I can look after myself

Jal must be getting alot of returns for this.

This is great news. PCP tests are only 40-10% accurate depending on test companies. Usually you have to pay for quarantine hotels, around ¥$3000. But if you can choose a 5 star beach hotel, or like the Sheraton Hotel on Sydney Barbour with a balcony room and room service, I think this is a good deal.

If JAL and other airlines stopped flying essential imports would stop too. These planes carry freight as well as passengers.
I’d rather JAL knocked some money off it’s eye watering ticket prices than have this pseudo insurance that I do not want or need.

Good point. If JAL and others stopped flying to China as soon as it was learned in January there was an unknown fatal virus circulating there for which there was no cure, the pandemic would have been drastically smaller and shorter than it is.

Or, they could lower prices?
