CDC has revised Florida's COVID-19 figures after the state Department of Health accused the agency of overcounting Sunday's totals

The federal health agency reported a new record of more than 28,000 cases on Sunday

Florida's DOH accused the CDC of combining multiple days' worth of data into one and that the true figure is really 15,000, which is an overcount of 15,000

The state reported 56,000 cases from Friday to Sunday and it is believed that the CDC split the total over two days - Saturday and Sunday - rather than three days The CDC's updated Covid numbers, reporting 19,000 on Sunday, are still higher than the figures published by the DOH Florida no longer reports daily COVID-19 cases, instead publicly revealing weekly counts every Friday

Only about 30 percent off, close enough for government work.

ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE! This action not only created a FALSE gigantic one day “case” count but also insured that those “cases” that were “slid” would REMAIN IN THE MOVING 7-DAY AVERAGE LONGER!

Deep State WAR ON FLORIDA!

And, even according to the CDC, the PCR test is bogus.

So, where are they getting all the numbers anyway?

IIRC, over muy Christmas surge, they dumped like 3+ days of cases all in one report for both the Christmas and New year holidays. Similar media hysteria.

Once again we see these oft “errors” exclusively serving the interest of the left. Every time. What are the odds?

You can bet your last dollar. You can just see the left coming into focus with their targeting of DeSantis.

I have done accounting work since I was 17 and am now 81.

Would have been summarily fired if I had ever done something like that.

I don’t doubt some are sick. In fact, I know a few people who are.

What I don’t see, is any kind of hospital over flow or stuff like that. 19k isn’t a large number when you look how many people reside in Florida. Hell, some of the population isn’t even here the whole year.

“Would have been summarily fired if I had ever done something like that.”

That was a successful tally; the narrative is what is important, not accuracy. Three-fourths of the people who heard that fallacious number will never hear of the walk back. But the damage is done — more fear.
