Yes, in a desperate attempt to slow the spread so that health systems aren't overrun. The difference in outcomes for those with severe symptoms (of any sort, from any illness) is vastly different based on the availability and quality of medical care.
- jacquesm 7y agoExactly. So, what are the chances that something 3.5 times larger would have a bigger chance of resulting in new clusters? Better than one that I would personally take my chances on. Just one infected person visiting an event like that, just one, and you'll have a whole new set of clusters to deal with up to one month later. Just like the authorities of .ch have decided that's a chance they'd rather not take the same would hold for visitors of events like that. And as the number of infected people grows so the chances of a hit. Keep in mind that this event is not tomorrow and that between now and then there will be plenty more people infected.
