Where factually correct, the numbers are... smallish:

"Two hospitals in Basel and one in Jura, in northwestern Switzerland, said they would each take two French patients after the Alsace authorities sent out a distress call for help. The French region has been particularly badly hit following contagion among a large church service last month.

Hospitals in Germany are also providing help along with the Swiss hospitals that say they are providing help in the spirit of solidarity and international cooperation."

Understandably so, since the rush is just hitting Switzerland itself.

We're even preparing for a complete lockdown, I (this weekend) received an official document that allows me to travel between my home address and work.

Interesting, are you in Switzerland? After the press conference on Friday I thought the federal council does not want to go to the direction of complete lockdown because it would not be useful because it would not respected.
