PARIS - France’s public health authority said on Thursday there had been a significant rise in confirmed, new cases of people suffering from COVID-19, as the number of deaths in the country edged up. The number of deaths in France from COVID-19 rose by 10 from the previous day to 30,182 - the sixth highest casualty toll in the world.
The number of confirmed, new cases rose by 1,000, a 66% increase in three weeks, as people adhered less to social distancing measures and increased testing led to the discovery of new clusters in parts of the country.
Hey JoeBiden look out your basement window the world must be going backwards. If a virus is in the air it needs a host to infect and people make great hosts. Covid19isGettingCloser

Is it possible for the death toll to edge down?
This was expected, because you can not eradicate a virus by imposing lock-downs. Swedish approach was more sensible from the beginning.
Oh no! When is the tide going to calm?🤨😒
