| newwil7l said: France has its third day in a row with over a thousand new deaths. It's very clear this isn't a fluke unfortunately, and it's looking like France will ultimately be the hardest hit country on the globe for its size if things keep up. |
They changed how they "count" confirmed cases & deaths.
Thats why you saw them have +23,000 confirmed cases yesterday.
And why deaths jumped so much, they are adding in cases of deaths from many days ago, as they confirm they are from covid-19.
Also they started counting deaths at nurseing homes, homes, ect outsides of just hospitals, if they suspect it was from covid19.
Alot of countries dont do this yet.
So things in france arnt as bad s they might seem... its just alot of other countries arnt counting cases/deaths like this.
Edit:
Think of it this way Newwil7L
New York State = ~20 million people (new york has 114,000 cases, and 3600 deaths)
France = 67 million people (france has 89,000 cases, and 7500 deaths)
Now, france is atleast 4 days ahead of New York State, in terms of the outbreak.
So imagine were New York will be 4 days from now? (when compaired to france today)
I know a state in the US =/= a country in europe, even if size/populations sometimes get close.
In terms of population, new york outbreak is much worse than Frances.
Plus I doubt the "deaths" in the US are counted the same way france does.
(ei. "real" numbers in the US are probably higher than ones shown)
