As a Floridian, I know that the Miami area has complained for months about how bad Covid-19 is there. Florida's governor (a true Trump apostle, btw), cherry picks stats, like not put nonresidents in with residents when it comes to Covid deaths, etc; so nobody really knows how many people in Florida have been exposed, have had, or have died from Covid-19. He even sent an armed police detail to the home of a woman that he'd fired because she was 'not doing what she was told' as far as Covid stats were concerned, just as she started a new business of coming up with her own list of stats on how many died of Covid, etc. Everyone here knows that any stats coming from the state government are of dubious, if not highly questionable, value.

Surprised it took this long for someone to mention that it's been proven that FL's numbers are fabricated, omitted, or otherwise altered. Which makes sense why the troll alt keeps specifically mentioning Florida.

You guys say that, and I vaguely remember some controversy about it, but so far I'm not finding any corroboration that the numbers are actually false. From the brief amount of research I did, we don't seem to have any corroborating evidence that Rebekah Jones is correct that the numbers are being falsified. Even Politifact reluctantly agrees that early reports of falsification were wrong and then begrudgingly agrees that Florida has been doing better.
