Let’s start with a mathematical-sanitary problem. For weeks, the scientific Covid task force has been saying that the official contamination figures only reflect part of the reality. There would not be 30,000 daily infections but more than 100,000, in particular with asymptomatic people who go under the radar. Rudolf Hauri, president of the Association of Cantonal Doctors, even quotes the figure of 150,000.
