This is a really smart piece of journalism about #Switzerland and #coronavirus - a must-read for anyone hoping to understand the delicate machinery in Bern that keeps Switzerland humming.

There are a lot of gems in here including about @UBS_CEO Sergio Ermotti as well as @CreditSuisse.
However, the big reveal here is that #Swiss #coronavirus point person Daniel Koch (the gangly bald guy featured in my #thuglife tweets several times) appears to have badly misjudged the situation as late as March.
Koch was unwilling to listen to warnings from Switzerland's leading epidemiologists, favoring field experience instead, according to the reporting.
Koch, now somewhat of a folk hero in terms of #Switzerland and #coronavirus, comes off very badly here (especially his denying having heard from one epidemiologist, who then provides copies of emails to Koch - awkward).
