France's daily new COVID-19 infections rose by more than 8,500 for the third time in six days on Wednesday, with the disease spreading at its fastest pace since it emerged in the country.

The number of people taken to hospital with the virus was also up, by 43 - increasing for the 11th day in a row to reach a one-month high of 5,003. The rate of increase of additional cases has been steadily rising for two months, but as they primarily involve younger people, who are less likely to fall seriously ill, that didn’t translate into renewed strain on the hospital system until the end of last month.

But the upward trend of those two indicators is fuelling fears of a second lockdown. France imposed one of Europe’s strictest lockdowns between March 17 and May 11 to prevent the hospital system from being overwhelmed.

This is why: herd immunity wins.

Damn you, Donald Trump!!

This is why you don’t judge a response at halftime. The US is looking good now without destroying the entire economy. As always things can change, it’s not over.

Where's the graph?

France's numbers are tiny compared to ours, even when you prorate, and they are way down from the early months.

Trump’s fault.

Why is tRuMp doing this?

Translation: European leaders are getting calls from their globalist masters telling them to amp up the numbers again because America isn’t playing the game anymore and they need something to keep the shutdown in effect until November. 🙄

Another proof that virus gonna virus.

One month high, but zoom out on a graph and it is next to nothing. 30 people died in one day compared to 31000 total. There must have been days with hundreds of people dying to get to 31000

What is Trump's role in this?

How come Sweden isn’t affected this bad

It can't surger 4 fold in 10 days it doesn't make sense. The numbers were menu planning from France. It was way higher then they originally reporting.

30 deaths in France today compared to 1,000 a day on average in mid April. 7,000 daily positive tests 2 weeks ago compared to 4,000 per day in mid March. What does that mean?

That must have been Trump's fault

We've always had below national average cases here in this town in the south, this week we've been put on the watch list because we've had a sudden rise in them. Not a good sign.

Tell us the truth, if you have any moral conscience left!

Weak Immunity! Boost Immunity!
