The CDC publishes inflated data on infections in Florida. Because? ?
The CDC was forced to "fix" its Covid-19 case counter for Florida after the state's health department contacted Twitter earlier this week to report the data was incorrect.
As of Tuesday, the CDC "was working with the state health department" to get the data right, according to a Fox News report .
The Florida Department of Health publicly stated that the CDC information was incorrect, repeating it earlier this week: “Wrong again. The number of @CDCgov cases released for Florida today is incorrect. They combined PI days into one. We expect CDC to correct the record. "

The CDC had reported 28,317 new Covid cases on Sunday, but was forced to correct the number to 19,584 cases by Tuesday, the report said. The Florida Department of Health said there were 15,319 cases on Sunday, nearly 50 percent fewer than the number originally reported by the CDC.
"On Tuesday, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that the state surpassed 20,000 for its 7-day average of new cases, one day after the federal agency misreported numbers provided by the Department. of Florida Health by combining data from the past three days into two, ” Fox reported Wednesday, after first pointing out the data discrepancy earlier in the week.
Florida hospitalizations increased from over 1,110 to 14,787 on Tuesday.
Recall, earlier this week we noticed that Governor Ron DeSantis was threatening to withhold salaries from school officials who defied the ban on face masks in the classroom.
How random was the CDC error? DeSantis is a Republican governor who is extremely opposed to the obligation on masks who has banned the vaccine passport. Clearly someone wants this politician to look bad, even at the cost of falsifying the data.
