What’s the deal with Switzerland, is it entirely explained by their border with Italy?
Switzerland has a population highly concentrated in cites and villages where single family homes are very rare. Lived there in 2008 - 09 in a small village outside Zurich. Mostly apartment or condo type housing. At best duplexes. Small and very expensive, spent a lot of time outdoors and most people do, so likely even if tried to be isolated would come close others on walks. Most people use trains so that would likely also play a part.
Switzerland’s a major world financial center - much like New York City. I’d like to see a breakdown based on how close to strategic cities ...

Italy, Switzerland and Spain are all in Southern Europe; Spain and Italy were cited as locations that Chinese tourists (lots of seeds) went to en masse when Trump shut down flights from China to the U.S. Switzerland shares a common border with Italy in the north of Italy with Milan not too far.
What I wonder about is why there are 3 different curves; estimating the graphs of the listed countries, the last four are on one curve, the top three are on a different curve and those in the middle are on yet another curve with a couple of outliers.

Glancing at the data again, it appears that China simply lied so they don’t fit the first curve I noted. Austria?

Italy, AND, France AND Germany.
Switzerland did not close the borders to it’s neighbors until very recently and has kept most people working (all of the “fun” stuff is closed). Even now, the borders are open to a certain group (workers who come to Switzerland every day from Germany, Italy ..). These are not “seasonal” workers. Instead they live close to the border and have found good paying jobs here (nurses among others). There is no testing of these people unless they show obvious symptoms.
