It's the most heavily tested area of the world [0], and also the only place where everyone who is positive gets a treatment (hydroxychloroquine + azithromycine). Other protocols are listed here [1] Regarding status, it seems the peak is being reached there [2] [0] https://twitter.com/raoult_didier/status/1245978149206228992/photo/1 https://twitter.com/raoult_didier/status/1245978149206228992...

1% is about expected at that point, since there is a 14 day lag on average and CFR can only go up over time after new cases trail off, it should end up higher. Look how South Korea eventually rose from .7% to 1.8% (somewhat biased by lots of young people infected early, but most of the rise at least from 1% to 1.8% was just due to the lags involved). Maybe it is still a good number for their population age demographics and the treatment helps a lot, but it doesn't seem to be showing it to be anything like a game changer.

  It's a narrow viewpoint to only see it through the lens of death percentage. Of course it is a game-changer. You eradicate the viral load after 6 days instead of 20+. Meaning : - reduced contagion (avoiding big peak of infections), no confinement needed, so the better for the economy - you avoid complications, meaning less load on hospital, so you can save a lot of people who would have died otherwise. - people get better in less time so less damage to their finances.

    > You eradicate the viral load after 6 days instead of 20+. Meaning There would be many less deaths if so.

      Sorry, I misunderstood this, I thought the data was Marseille vs the rest of France based on the wording, not one hospital in Marseille vs others in Marseille.
