Ancient Egyptian’s suffered seven years of drought, famine, and pestilence. But even they never dreamed it could get this bad…
The Swiss pastime of yodeling appears to have led to a major coronavirus cluster in the country, potentially providing more evidence to back up concerns that singing heightens the risk of virus transmission.
Roughly 600 people attended two indoor yodeling shows in late September in the rural canton of Schwyz, according to Agence France-Presse. Social distancing was required, although masks were not.
Several of the yodelers later tested positive for the coronavirus, organizer Beat Hegner told Swiss broadcaster RTS.
While it’s unclear exactly how many cases are linked to the events, infections have surged in Schwyz in recent weeks. Until mid-September, only about 500 people in the canton had tested positive for the coronavirus since the start of the pandemic, AFP reported. That number has more than doubled over the past four weeks.
It’s gotten so bad residents of the canton can’t remember where the y is supposed to go in Schwyz. Or Schywz. Or Schwzy.
