1/ Very important to keep in mind that we've essentially reached #SARSCoV2 #COVID19 testing capacity in #Switzerland. Tests have plateaued but positivity is still >20%.
This makes it *very difficult* to read anything into the case numbers. I would urge caution with all analyses.

2/ There has been talk about hoping we can see signs of measures working by end of this week.
But, many cantons are restricting tests, lines are very long in places, & overall Switzerland can't really test more.
This makes it difficult to see whether restrictions are working.

3/ In the analogy where #SARSCoV2 testing is 'switching on the light' to fully understand the scope of the pandemic, #Switzerland has walked to the edge of where our lightbulb can illuminate.
At the cusp of darkness it's hard to see. Let's not make a leap of faith. #TestTestTest

4/ The first tweet in this thread was meant to be a quote-tweet of @erwinheim's always-excellent figures. Apologies that it went missing somehow.
As usual, see his full thread for a great breakdown of numbers.
