A strange pattern has emerged in COVID-19 CFRs in Switzerland.
COVID-19 has been twice as likely to kill patients in French-speaking cantons of Switzerland than in German-speaking, and more than twice as likely to kill patients in Italian speaking cantons than in French ones.
There was actually a typo in one of the boxes on the spreadsheet.
It's even worse in the French regions than the original image made it out to be.
