Switzerland's famed Matterhorn mountain was illuminated with an American flag for a few hours as a symbol of solidarity during the coronavirus pandemic.
"Our thoughts are with all American people at this unprecedented time. We look forward to meeting again at the foot of the Matterhorn, we are all in this together," the tourism organization Zermatt Matterhorn wrote on its Facebook page.
Light artist Gerry Hofstetter projected the flag onto the 14,692-foot-tall peak in the Swiss Alps as part of a nightly series designed to show the town of Zermatt's support for everyone suffering and those fighting the pandemic.

Good. They didn’t honor the Chinese flag. These days you could probably get cash to do that.

Just think... Nowadays, in almost every American town, city, & county, this would result in a SWAT team showing up and handcuffing, zapping, and ticketing the person who did it...

From their web site schedule, the China flag will be displayed tomorrow. They are honoring every country in the world. They have already done India, Saudi Arabia, and others.
Switzerland is neutral, as always. And they will need tourists from everywhere, when it’s feasible.
