Bundesrat Berset vs The Checklist Manifesto

Pretty interesting take on automatisms in crisis situations:

Coming from a long history of crisis response, I have strong opinions on clearly pre-defined, optimally automated, countermeasures as a critical pillar to stop the bleeding fast.

In addition, it’d be helpful for the population to understand which aspects kick in at any given stage, to weigh their decisions.

COVID-19: daily heatmap

Thanks to the awesome work of Daniel Probst, collecting per canton data and publishing it on https://github.com/daenuprobst/covid19-cases-switzerland, I was able to pull this quick heatmap together, showing latest (ie daily) confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Switzerland, updated constantly (whenever source data changes).

note: unreported cantonal data is backfilled from the previous day

(previous post on this topic: https://www.musings.ch/2020/03/13/covid-19-heatmap-schweiz/)

And since heatmaps over broad areas are not necessarily useful, here’s a map of cantons affected.

COVID-19: Heatmap Schweiz

Since I was playing with Google Maps API heatmaps recently, I thought I’d put together a quick heatmap showing confirmed COVID-19 cases in Switzerland.

COVID-19 cases per 100k inhabitants, in Switzerland, as of 2020-03-19.
