Couldn't agree more.

Personal experience is : I cancelled a long planned fligth to Cuba for 19th March after my gvt had issued a no-fly warning, but the airline - Condor in this case - refused to honour/refund it as the flight was scheduled to operate - and ... it went ahead as scheduled.
Irresponsible and reckless IMO.
Cuba closed its borders 2 days later and 40k tourists are trying to get out.
Wonder how the ones flying 19th March are doing there now ...
