“Doesn’t the current strategy lead to a «Durchseuchung» (mass infection), especially for children who still have few opportunities to get vaccinated?”
@BoeglinP

“Durchseuchung sounds negative. We can’t stop the virus, what we do is to slow it down.”
@ignaziocassis, 12.1.2022 “How did the Federal Council include LongCovid in its risk assessments?”
@NathalieChris18

“We’ve included it every now and then. We know very little. With our immunity the goal isn’t containment. We need a situation where we can live with the virus.”

Last week, @cedricwermuth and @spschweiz complained on behalf of health workers about “a political system that doesn’t assume its responsibilities”.

In case they missed it, here are @alain_berset’s most responsible moments from Friday’s press conference.

“The objective is to reduce the transmission of the virus and to regain control … not to lose control of the situation”

Federal Councillor @alain_berset on reopening, the #3rdWave, individual responsibility, and #LongCovid at the 12 March press conference:

All different scenarios for reopening modeled by the @SwissScience_TF and the ETHZ come to the same conclusion: We have to expect a 3rd wave. This is not the best time for reopening, given the epidemiological situation.

But because we had an evolution of our strategy, it seems possible to us to consider openings despite this very unstable situation as long as we are extremely careful in our individual actions.
