Nope, it ain't... problem is, that in US, insurance companies are for profit and don't have fiduciary duty and thus, can get away with this sh*t. Ivo Jahelka, a singing lawyer from Czech Republic, say's, "read the f***ing contract. If there are not scenarios listed or there is anything unclear or hazy, define it properly, because when you sign it, it's done!". And if even after that they don't want to pay, sue and make sure, that the proceedings are streamed, so that their business opportunities are damaged beyond repair. And finally, make your own insurance policies. I pay for two Internet connections, because I can't afford to be offline for any reason whatsoever. My network is backed with UPS devices and I run VRRP with a pair of routers with multiple APs to ensure, that I will be online no matter what. People, when dealing with these nut jobs, you have to make sure, that not everything is on them. Don't put all your eggs in to one basket!

@gooddogtrainingservices5351 Not exactly. The government, that would turn off the Internet, would cease to be government in days, at least in the West. Solar flares are ridiculously rare to hit Earth. There was like one in recorded history. Pandemics are more common these days, so insurance is to be considered, but that doesn't mean you should not make preparations for such event!
Everyone need's to create their own plan for emergencies, even such as these and work on them, based on probability of them hitting. In terms of businesses, that means they need to have at least a part of company, that would be essential service and have flexible staff, so that they can reorient them selves to that production/service. I work part time in such place currently. When covid hit first, car manufacturing made a dead stop. Entire factory for cable production reoriented itself and started to sew cotton face masks. In terms of other stuff, one need's to be able to function even through such problems as covid, eg. have a job, that actually allows for savings to be made and to have some stored, have a job, that will power through no matter what, such as medical field, and if this is not available, at very least earn prerequisites for such jobs, such as learning to code, learn tax code or maybe getting a commercial driving license.
And finally, where necessary, deploy technical insurance devices. I myself have to make arrangements for shifts at this factory very flexibly. That means, being without the Internet is completely unacceptable for me, as such, I have my network backed up on power and have secondary Internet connection.
Paying money to insurance company is not the only way to be insured.
