As a fellow Swiss I agree.

Remember when they banned Chinese exhibitors from Basel World[1] during the SARS crisis?

There was a hell of a lot of "Bloody Murder! That's such an over reaction!" going for that.

I was not so sure at that time. Ultimately (and mind you, it was a super painful decision and to describe the Chinese and Hong Kong delegation as royally pissed and offended would be a massive under-exaggeration) I figured that the BAG (health authority) was doomed whatever they decided. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

But since the situation could have ultimately run out of control I thought the decision was right.

I also think so in this case. Even though, it's hard core and will be very unpopular with a lot of the public (let alone 20 Minuten commenters).
