Instead of on the playground, the children meet in virtual classrooms across Switzerland. After the first few weeks the advantages and disadvantages of home schooling become apparent.

"Heinsberg Protocol" by Hendrik Streeck:
The Corona Investigators: How researchers are now collecting unique data on the original German outbreak
Heinsberg was the epicenter of the corona crisis in Germany early on. A team of researchers is now examining the citizens of the district very closely. "The Heinsberg Protocol" is intended to provide data on how we can be infected and which measures against it made any sense and are still effective from now on.

What I've been watching
Over the past week, I have watched the six-part HBO miniseries The Plot Against America, which came out in March. It is based on the 2004 Philip Roth novel of the same title and tells an alternative history in which FDR is defeated in 1940 by the fascist-sympathizing Charles Lindbergh through the eyes of a Jewish family living in Newark, NJ. Compelling story, well acted. It is the best piece of television I have seen in years.
