As you can see there is a big spike at the end of July and it levels off after about one month. The good news is that the residual level is still above zero, so there seem to be some interest left after the big sensation.

I was myself caught in the maelstrom of the news. CBS News came to Switzerland for a story and interview (see a transcript and two videos on the CBS website). We were also interviewed by several journals in Switzerland, Germany and USA.
