I thought I remember reading that France is experiencing increased "COVID-19" deaths. Either the data has not hit the European mortality monitoring site yet or else the spike is not correlated with an overall increase in mortality in France.
I check the European mortality monitoring site, https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps/ from time to time. The site seems to tell a different story than what is reported in the "news". It doesn't seem like a real pandemic if the deaths that are occurring are happening in a situation where there is no overall increase in mortality. If some new plague was sweeping through wouldn't more people be dying than in a typical year? The screen cap includes the current graph for France. It looks like mortality in France is lower than "normal"!
