France continues to spike in cases and deaths.

What Lafiel said. Looking at the hospitalization rates France's growth rate has already peaked just like Spain

The hospitalization rate is flattening out indicating the growth peak is already behind.

France looks to be the only country trying to get accurate case and fatality numbers. Unfortunately all these corrections make it impossible to pinpoint exactly where they peaked. Somewhere between April 1st and April 5th is my guess.


What is concerning is that without France's correction spike, the USA again (almost) has as many new cases as all of Europe.
Europe added 41,821 new cases, however France added an extra 5K or 6K older cases today. The USA is already at 33,331 for today.
Yesterday Europe only reported 29K cases, USA 30K new cases.
The USA is will soon take the lead in daily growth compared to Europe.

That doesn't explain the rise in new cases. Over 11k new cases today. Are they mass testing now?
