And over 5,000 deaths total.

Cantons with more than 600 new cases per 100K people on the last 14 days: SO, BL, BS, AG, ZH, SG, TG, AR, GR. https://www.covid19.admin.ch/fr/overview?detTime=14d

I would not be surprised in additional measures are announced just before Christmas for all these cantons.

Smoking saves lives
Low incidence of daily active tobacco smoking in patients with symptomatic COVID-19

But Aargau health councilor says there's no need for immediate action. See above:

+ TI and NE

Surprised to read that. Canton Aargau has 51 out of 55 ICU beds in use. https://icumonitoring.ch/

Strictly speaking, immediate means today. The news you quoted mention a press conference for Thursday morning. However, considering how a wave of cases/deaths is a 6-8 weeks thing, 3 days is immediate. I guess the guy is there because has a much better command of language that me, but the sick people are still there.

does anyone know when kanton bern will open up the gyms again?

It was quoted from todays pressconference.
They want to wait and see what other cantons will do.
Possible measures would be communicates on thursday.

Level 5 lockdown came at a huge cost, and made no real difference, by Dr Ciara Kelly

What a refreshing comeback!

Still here?

Another fabulously reliable source: an Irish talk show host and former "showbiz" medical general practitioner who nevertheless contracted COVID-19 herself, who apparently doesn't understand that serious COVID-19 patients often require long-term intensive care, and there is a lag between admission to ICU and discharge.

Hopefully the bans will be put bk in place for a couple of people. They obviously still want to spout the same sort of crap.

Some relevant numbers about hotel nights during summer 2020 in Switzerland. Don't worry too much about your favorite spot in Graubunden: hotel stays grew 0.9% compared to 2019. Albeit, business travel is on the ICU: ZH -73%, GE -78% of hotel stays. I guess a lot of things related to the UN in Geneva are done online these days.

I'm burning mine the day my post-vaccination period is over!

I commuted every day on 3 tubes in London for 6 years and was only ill once (2 days off work).

I just don't want to live in fear.

GE starts to open up again. Confirms restraunts will reopen 10 December. Late night dining remains restricted except for new years eve when up til 1 am is authorised. From 23 Dec-3 Jan. family gatherings will be authorised up to 10 persons. However current other restrictions on gatherings up to 5 remain in place.

GE, VD, and other romande cantons open cinémas and théâtres from 19 Dec.

VD increases capacity of testing. (personal comment--not sure what good it does as they gave up on all test, track, and trace months ago when the slightest blip of second wave on horizon)

Bars in Geneva eill open aswell

" Covid Angels " will be mobilized. These people will be responsible for making the population aware of respect for barrier gestures in public spaces.

Thousands may have undiagnosed cancer, other serious diseases, pathologists say

Looks that way as the press are reporting so. But looking at the actual press release it says, in my best attempt at translation: "discotheques that have authorisations to transform into bars". Not sure if that also includes your normal run of the mill bar or what. Maybe that's how all GE bars are legally known.
There's also some decibel limit on music in restraunts.
