French Coronavirus Infections Set New Record Above 20,000 Per Day
On a per capita basis, that would be the equivalent of over 103,000 new reported cases in the United States. For reference, the highest amount of new cases ever recorded in the United States was 78,888 on July 24th.
The ministry reported 20,330 new infections, taking the cumulative total to 691,977 since the start of the year. In the past two days the ministry had reported more than 18,000 daily new confirmed COVID-19 cases.
The number of deaths from the virus increased by 109 to 32,630, the most in a week but below highs of around 150 seen earlier this month. The death toll figures can be skewed as the ministry often reports several days of senior citizen residence data in one batch.
The number of people in hospital jumped by another 240 to 7,864 nationwide and the number of people in intensive care units - the best measure of a health system's ability to deal with the epidemic -rose by 21 to 1,448.
At the height of the crisis in early April, more than 7,000 people were in intensive care with COVID.
On Thursday, France's health minister said that Lyon - the country's third-biggest city - and three other THE number of new coronavirus infections in France jumped more than 20,000 in one day for the first time since the start of the epidemic, cities will have to close their bars in coming days, as Paris and Marseille have done, in a bid to slow the spread of the virus

This must be hard to comprehend for those who think the spread of the virus is easily controllable and only Donald Trump's mistakes somehow let an outbreak occur in the US. Here we are 7 months into the outbreak and it's more out of control than ever in Europe. I guess they didn't get Joe Biden's "plan" either.
Many Trump supporters think the virus is a left wing hoax that will come to a sudden stop on Nov 4.
Who's dumber ?
If Biden wins, just about every article and mention of Covid-19 will amazingly disappear from the MSM
You really should concentrate on reality Greg.
Wait and see, on the slim chance he prevails.
Yesterday, the UK set a new record high of 17,540 new reported cases, the American equivalent of about 85,000 new daily cases.
Easy to understand really. Ease restrictions and see a spike.
Just like in my state. They decided no masks mandatory, a week later seeing a spike...
I think Spain said they were going to close bars again while Germany is blaming social gatherings.
26,896 new cases today, the equivalent of almost 135,000 cases in America.
Positivity rate of 11%. It's getting very bad, quickly.
France set a new record today, with 22,591 cases. That's the equivalent of over 115,000 cases in the USA.
Italy also set a new record as well. Spain had it's second highest day ever. Europe is getting hit very hard.
The daily record jumped over 30% today, with 30,621 new cases. That 's the equivalent of over 155,000 cases in the USA, whose daily record is 78,888.
Back down to 25,086 cases today, which is great news. But still the equivalent of over 127,000 case in the USA, for perspective.
The positivity rate is now above 13%, which indicates the official counts are missing large amounts of infections. By comparison, the US with a more rigorous testing system, has a rate of 5.3%.
Although France's 13% positivity rate pales in comparison to Argentina's 76%, or even the Czech Republic's 30%.
Wisconsin's positivity rate is 24.3% 7-day average. That makes France look like a star.
sitivity rate is 24.3% 7-day average
No, it's not.
But I'm sure our liberal partisan hacks who exist only to politicize the virus will no doubt blame the Democratic governor's fault because "leadership" and he's responsible for all 1,500 plus deaths in the state.
Of course, it is. John Hopkins shows it is.
Speaking of partisan hacks, LOL.
Things aren't as bad as they look in WI. South Dakota has a positivity rate of 36.4% so you're not number one. Number two isn't that good either. Never fear, Sean after the Trump rally there you're bound to catch up to SD.
Cheers.
No, it's not.
p eaking of partisan hacks, LOL.
Of, to, one of those situations where the preposition can be switched.
ev er fear, Sean after the Trump rally there you're bound to catch up to SD.
But what will you do? How can you blame the governor when he's a Democrat? There goes your whole m.o.
Keep spinning, Sean.
Here's some mustard to go with that pretzel.
Pussies, let me know when you reach AMERICAN numbers!
Well, that post is quite the indictment of the American educations system. Per capita isn't that hard to figure out.
Hey, stop fuckin up the Merican education system [removed]
