With drastic restrictions and unfortunate bureaucratic excuses, the country does not achieve its goal with Corona.
More foresight is needed.
Before Christmas, a dream remains for many: the booster vaccination.

Rigid restrictions have been in place in Switzerland since the beginning of the week.
Part of the adult population has been systematically excluded from wide areas of society. Unvaccinated people have no business in restaurants, in the theater or in the gym. Companies must let their employees work from home whenever possible.
The lockdown in spring 2020 was perhaps more extensive,
In contrast to today’s measures, however, it applied equally to everyone. Now that has become a reality that egalitarian Switzerland never wanted: a two-class society.
It no longer seems to play a role that not all, but very many unvaccinated people had behaved particularly carefully and had themselves tested regularly. What has been forgotten is that the vast majority of companies, out of their own interest, a sense of responsibility and without orders from Bern, had issued corona measures that had proven their worth.
Instead, another motto now applies: The authorities must protect the citizens, if necessary even against their will. This paternalism hurts all the more because the state may mean well with its measures, but struggles and stumbles when implementing them.
Just the pace of work of the federal authorities makes your hair stand on end. An example: On October 26, the Federal Commission for Vaccination Issues (Ekif) announced that the booster would follow for people aged 65 and over. In the same media release then Ekif added that the IT systems for registration, documentation and monitoring would be operational from November 4th.
In other words: The federal IT specialists needed more than a week for a life-saving, simple software update, which was already months it was previously clear that it would come.
At in the cantons, the pace was not necessarily brighter either. Zurich announced on November 5th that the booster vaccinations would start. In the same media release it was said that the homes could then order the vaccine from November 8th.
During the same period in which the junk Swiss announced their booster decision, the possible federal IT specialists then installed the software update and the Zurich company theirs The order hotline for the homes opened, the British vaccinated over 4.5 Million inhabitants for the third time .
In Switzerland, the new drastic restrictions go hand in hand with further delays because the cantonal authorities despite a lot Were insufficiently prepared in advance to cope with the onslaught of booster vaccinations. Vaccination centers in Zurich had been closed, the vaccination vehicles are in the winter garage.
Explanations for all the delays, omissions and omissions are always at hand. External factors are always to blame: the federal government, which does not decide and then surprisingly adjusts the deadlines. The IT that needs an update. The cans that must be ordered first. The population that doesn’t get vaccinated. The health workforce that is absent. A new virus variant from abroad.
The victims are basically always the same: the citizens who cannot be vaccinated even though they wanted to. Others who are discriminated against because they do not want to be vaccinated at the moment. The companies that are losing their customers because of the tough restrictions. And the freedom that is noticeably falling by the wayside.
Switzerland will soon enter its third Corona year. Perhaps the federal and cantonal governments will reflect on what their actual core task is for 2022: acting with foresight.
