I agree that misaligned wealth-incentives for politicians can be a serious issue, but I'm not convinced it's likely to apply here. Unlike many political issues, this one threatens the nation's leaders personally, and the cabinet presumably has a far higher average age (and therefore vulnerability) than the general population. As we've already seen with Iran, the people at the top aren't safe from infection.
