What he likely meant is that losing a low-paid job, i.e. falling back to unemployment insurance (which in Switzerland is 60% of your net salary, 67% if you have kids) in Geneva often meant that someone would be unable to afford basic needs, with drastic consequences, e.g. losing their apartment. Makes sense since they barely get by with the full salary in the first place. With a high minimum wage this fall to 60% may mean they can get by until they are able to find another job.
This study was not about observing infections or exposing people, it was about movement and interaction patterns. Every single participant was tested before the event, and only those with negative results were allowed to participate. Of course it's not risk free, but it seems to be highly unlikely that anyone of the volunteers will be harmed (especially since they are all younger than 50).

A couple a month seems way too much to me. I know for sure my last one here in southern Germany was more than 5 years ago. The only one that I actually remember experiencing during daytime was in my childhood, more than 20 years ago.

They used the logo and font as well. My very first impression was actually that this is an Autodesk site.
