        "Only about a dozen British tourists out of about 420 appear to be left in the Swiss ski resort of Verbier after an undisclosed number fled a mandatory quarantine, many under cover of darkness, risking a 10,000 Swiss franc fine (£8,300) and drawing widespread condemnation on social media."

                  run run run away
                  Darn it, searching for song that reminded me of - "run run run run run away" and can't find it. Just crap by Slade, Bruno Mars etc.

                    Are you thinking of "Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads?
