Update (1310ET): After the government affirmed that France's lockdown-lite measures would stay in place for at least another two weeks, official data showed that French ICU occupancy, one of the most closely watched indicators in Europe, has risen again to 96.6%, a new post-springtime high.

"We count in #France in recent days a hospitalization every 30 seconds and an admission to intensive care every 3 minutes," PM Jean Castex warned.

In total, France has some 4,803 COVID-19 patients in its ICUs (with 40% of them under 65). Presently, 25% of all deaths in France right now are due to COVID-19

 

Over the past 2 weeks, 72,279 fines have been handed out for COVID-19 related infractions, according to Castex, the government's pointman.

Over in Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel just raised the possibility of extending that country's COVID-19 restrictions through the Christmas holiday. Though the pace of the outbreak has slowed, Merkel said the levels of spread are still too high, with Germany looking to reduce cases to 50 per 100,000, from 138 as of Thursday.

Also, in case you forgot, the CDC has released new guidance reminding Americans that masks offer protection benefits to wearers (as opposed to, well, everybody else).

China seems to be doing OK, as they have the remedy.
