During this pandemic we have hardly had any rain for a month. The whole of Switzerland is either yellow, orange or red with the risk of fire. I&#8217;ve been walking outdoors with a t-shirt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could be under the illusion that Switzerland has beaten the virus but that&#8217;s an illusion, because the risk of a new center of contagion is possible. We have to continue self-isolating. Today two children cycled too close to me so I crossed to the opposite side of the road because they stopped and would pass me again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B-57EArFpa7\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;

That didn&#8217;t stop me from playing on a board fixed above a set of springs and working different muscles than I do when walking. I saw groups of people out, mostly in groups of two or three but I did spot a group of six as I started the group.

If that is the case then I will wait until Wednesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If Thursday and Saturday are an indication of whether society has changed or not I would say that it hasn&#8217;t, in the least.
