The Lies Did Their Job: CDC admits it DID overcount Florida’s COVID cases
Agency revises down state’s weekend numbers from 28,000 to 19,000 but offers no explanation after falsely claiming ‘record’ infections
This was all on purpose, of course.
- 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
