Florida changed its COVID-19 data, creating an 'artificial decline' in recent deaths

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article253796898.html

I got almost universally skewered here for pointing this out 2 weeks ago.

Florida cases highest since pandemic began, deaths unexplainably dipped to lowest since beginning

What's the deal here? I don't see any other states with this pattern - what gives? I assume DeSantis is behind this, but I doubt monoclonal antibodies are helping this much?

Link to data: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/usa/florida/

Didn't realize that criticizing DeSantis would upset people here.

Edit: I updated graphs to make it more clear and changed title.

15% of all new cases in USA

0.8% of all new deaths in USA

Odd.

No great loss
