Daily cases were going down in most Swiss cantons in December. If variant B117 takes over, every canton would likely see daily cases start to rise again. This might hit us hard in 1-2 months if we don't do a lot more to control spread now.

I agree that controlling the spread of B117 is crucial.

Why I did this

I am not an expert on Covid, viruses, or vaccines, but I am a scientist with relevant training. I believe we have a responsibility to clearly communicate science to the public, especially in emergencies. So in March 2020, I started to write summaries of Covid developments on facebook and email them to friends and family, to help them understand the situation as it unfolded. This is an archive of those posts (created much later).

I also tracked the spread of alarming Covid variants for a few months at http://covidvarianttracking.com/ and mapped the consequences of faster variant spreading at https://tabsoft.co/2YwHCmZ.
