Covid-19 in Switzerland: This is what the pandemic would look like, if the country were a block of flats

Storytelling concept and project lead for an online article

Beyond case numbers and mortality statistics, the extent of the Covid-19 pandemic was often difficult to grasp. In this article, we ask the question: How does the coronavirus affect the lives of people living in Switzerland, if the country were a residential complex with 100 inhabitants? By breaking down the numbers for this «Corona House», the reader is led through the economic, health, and social impacts the virus had on the Swiss population in 2020.
