I wanted to be with my mother. But unfortunately, I am not, because the country where she lives has been put on the list of risk countries. That was a shock for me. My mother is approaching the age of 80, is widowed and although she is very independent, she needs help. I promised to visit her in September and to help her in the house and garden where it is necessary. When I received the message that the country would be on the quarantine list from Monday on, I first had to find out what this meant. The measures are draconian. For 10 days in isolation after the return and that even without symptoms and even if the corona-test is negative. In order not to endanger my son, I would have to stay in my room for 10 days.
Leben in Zeiten von Corona X – Rettungsschiff
Ich wollte bei meiner Mutter sein. Bin es aber nicht, weil das Land, in dem sie wohnt auf die Liste der Risikoländer gesetzt wurde. Das war ein Schock für mich. Meine Mutter geht auf die 80 zu, ist verwitwet und obwohl sie sehr selbständig ist, braucht sie Hilfe. Ich versprach ihr im September zu ihr zu kommen und ihr in Haus und Garten zu helfen, wo es notwendig ist. Als ich die Nachricht lass, dass das Land ab Montag auf der Quarantäneliste steht, musste ich erst herausfinden, was das bedeutet. Die Massnahmen sind drakonisch. 10 Tage lang in der Isolation nach der Rückkehr und das auch ohne Symptome und auch bei einem negativen Test. Damit ich mein Sohn nicht gefährde, müsste ich 10 Tage lang in meinem Zimmer bleiben.
Schweiz – Braindrain zwischen den Kantonen
Rund 50 Prozent aller Studierenden an den Unis kommen aus anderen Kantonen. Ein Grossteil kehrt auch nach dem Studium nicht zurück. Gerade Rand- und Bergkantonen verlieren so die ausgebildeten Fachpersonen.
Zoology once again
I am friends with Michelle. She is married to David and they have a little 1-year old daughter. Michelle and David met at the rowing club. They love rowing together, but with a toddler it is almost impossible.
