It's been hard here (we are surrounded by Italy on 3 sides) so have been hit the worst as far as Swiss cantons are concerned. The Local authorities did an awesome thing though, they shut us down, and shut down the schools early, despite what the government said and promised. The PM came to chew their ears off, and then agreed that they did the right thing, so we are under a lockdown. I feel better knowing more lovely old people I know will survive. I am all for having access to information (being careful on what you read, you need to be careful on what you put in your body and mind), but I am against an ostrich approach, trying to ignore the obvious. We have lived locked in our houses for a fortnight, I am ill, horrible cough, and being in the risk group it's not fun. Yet, unless I have difficulty in breathing or high fever, I am not going to be tested, as the country can't cope. My dd is also in the risk group, so my only hope is that I don't pass to her whatever I have. So I scrap, and work in the garden, and can't go for a walk yet, but as soon as the symptoms are finished, and I take a few days after the one obligatory, just to play safe, I am back in the mountains. It is nice to know our community here can still be together. I stand by you. Hugs to all. The virtual ones are safe.
