SHOOT: It makes sense as France is the world's #1 tourist destination, by far.
In France, a flu monitoring agency which looks at cases region-by-region also said the number of cases was skyrocketing - far beyond the official figures released - with as many as 20,000 new cases nationwide every week.
"We are convinced that our figures are close to reality, with a margin of error of 20 per cent," GROG director Jean-Marie Cohen told reporters during a conference in Switzerland on the antiviral drug Tamiflu.
GROG based its figures on a network of 5,000 doctors and paediatricians encountering acute respiratory infections in patients at the regional level, with an extrapolation made to come up with a total for the entire country.
Cohen said he believed the health ministry's figures were calculated "in a rush".
