Florida underreporting #COVID19 deaths by 3.5x. Instead of "175" it's 616 in one week.

1. Data also only includes FL residents, not snowbirds, part timers, military etc

2. Could the CDC not set very stiff penalties for inaccurate reporting?

Not sure how all that works, but in my mind, absolutely strict requirements forvaccurate data should be set, withbmandatory prison time for failure to comply. No loopholes.

3. It's crazy that there's legal room somehow for these inaccuracies

And all about Ron DeathSantis' election campaign ultimately.

4. Especially after FL fired their top vax doc a few weeks ago

Intent is difficult to prove, but they aren't even trying to hide it.

5. There goes reality with its dang ol' liberal bias again! /s

Dim Ron is just following the example of his idol Dim Don: Downplaying the virus to, uh, "avoid a panic." Yeah! That's the ticket!

6. "underreporting" "inconsistencies"

I call this just plain 'ol LYING!

Media, please stop sugar coating.

7. Here is a link to the reports

The same thing happened on the previous report, deaths went up by way more than the total listed.

8. And the ones before that - the "175", "108" numbers seem meaningless

The actual weekly deaths have been, recently, 231, 282, 409 and now 616. The graph at the bottom shows the 231, 282 and 409 from previous weeks, but in the 'deaths' row and 'previous week' column at the top of the PDF, the '175, '108' etc. don't seem to relate to anything else. The media should ignore them.
