  It's interesting, isn't it? What's the difference between the two? A few possibilities: 1. Having been through big outbreaks, some countries are now doing a much better job of coping with it. (protecting vulnerable, treatments, etc.) 2. In some countries the dominant strain has become milder. (though wouldn't the deadly strain also still circulate, resulting in just fewer deaths?) 3. It already got to the vulnerable people in France. (though surely there would be somewhat more deaths, not almost none?) 4. False positives in PCR testing. (I'm no expert, but it seems there are particular ways to run the test that may result in increased incidence of false positives) What other possibilities are there?
