France beat the US record set yesterday for most deaths in a day with 1355 deaths today.

Most of europe is a week or more ahead on the timeline, compaired to the USA.
This matters because deaths lag behinde by potentially weeks.... so the "deaths" today, are caused by infections from weeks ago.
Go look at how many were infected in the US, a week or two ago. Then look at todays numbers of infected, and think 2 weeks forwards.

Within a week, im sure you'll see the US beat that record many times over (much bigger country).

France is behind its European peers like Spain and Italy though. 

That number is beyond staggering regardless and has me very worried for France, much more than America as of now.
