Haven't heard anything about that nor has the CDC noted it in their total case/death count.
They have just updated their total case/death count today and their is no France on their list. They did add Mali about a week ago and I never read about that anywhere other than the CDC's website so if France did have something and I did not hear about it, it would have been added to their list. Now, I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, but until they add it, I will not add it here.

I get worried in restaurants now, as sweat/syliva could even go into food or poorly cleaned glasses

Soldiers to spend Thanksgiving in Ebola isolation
A group of military service members returning to Joint Base Lewis-McChord from Africa will spend Thanksgiving in isolation while the Army monitors their health for signs of Ebola.
The group arriving Tuesday evening includes 15 service members and one Defense Department civilian who built facilities in Liberia to fight the fatal disease, the Army said.
They were not exposed to Ebola-infected patients and the risk that they picked up the fatal disease is very minimal, said I Corps Maj. Mary Ricks. Because they have no symptoms, the isolation is called controlled monitoring rather than quarantine, Ricks said Tuesday.
They'll have their temperature taken twice a day during their stay, which won't be a full 21 days because they've already spent some time in Germany.
Lewis-McChord is not their home base. They come from all over the country and one is stationed overseas, Ricks said.
The base near Tacoma is one of five around the country set up for Ebola monitoring. The first troops returning from the Ebola mission in Africa went to Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia earlier this month, Ricks said.
This is the first group for Lewis-McChord, which has room for two groups of 50 for a total of 100. That could go up to 1,000 if necessary, Ricks said.
The isolation area has computers and exercise equipment. Also a dining facility will make Thanksgiving dinner for the group, she said.
"We're trying to make this experience as much like home as we can, realizing they won't be home for Thanksgiving," Ricks said.
They shouldn't miss another holiday, she said. "They'll be home for Christmas."

Liberia: 7,244 cases, 4,181 deaths
Sierra Leone: 6,802 cases, 1,463 deaths
Guinea: 2,123 cases, 1,284 deaths
The number of people killed by the Ebola outbreak in West Africa has risen to 6,928, the World Health Organisation (WHO) says.
The toll has increased by over 1,000 since the WHO's last report on Wednesday, but it includes unreported deaths from earlier in the outbreak.
Experts say the infection rate is more significant that the death toll, as it reflects how the virus is spreading.
Infection rates are decreasing in Liberia, but are high in Sierra Leone.
There have been over 16,000 reported cases in Guinea, Sierra and Liberia.
Just thought, I'd throw in a little update.
