The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has quietly updated Florida's COVID-19 figures after accusations of overcounting earlier this week.On Monday, the Florida Department of Health (DOH) accused the CDC of misreporting the state's weekend COVID-19 numbers.The federal health agency had posted that 28,317 new Covid cases were recorded in The Sunshine State on Sunday, a record-high that was reported by multiple media outlets.However, the DOH stated that is true total was 15,319 cases, indicating an overcount of more than 13,000.

The explanation is POLITICS!! Florida has a Republican Governor and the fool occupying the Whote House is a Marxist-Socialist-Communist. His mind won't allow him to chose which one.

When the test being used cannot differentiate between covid and the flu,and you test positive, the diagnosis is a guess . If you want to support an agenda , you guess covid.

Further proof (as if it were needed) that there is absolutely no reason to believe anything the CDC says. Not now, not ever.

Florida and Texas ?? So simple enough. All you residents of "safe" states need to simply not come here. That's a lot more social distancing than 6 feet. I in turn promise to not come to Baltimore. Ever.

Thank you, #5, I do my best to keep people out of Florida and urge yankee to keep their stupidity north of the border.
And #6, that’s probably your litter box. Buy a dog.

CDC needn't worry. When the whole Covid thing blows up - again - they've got Ebola waiting in the wings.

Propaganda uber alles from our government agencies.
Government now exists solely to serve the continued existence and expansion of government. It is, effectively, skynet. It's not going to kill us with lasers and plasma bombs. Instead, it's going to send us to earlier graves with Soviet-style dysfunctionality and mismanagement. And there is nothing you can or will do about it. The window closed when they burned our cities and the police stood by and watched.

The assault on DeSantis is underway! Some day, people will stop listening to Democrats and the Deep State. Never ever believe their utterances unless they are given an anal exam.

It bolsters the politicization of this whole thing by Democrats.
It weakens their credibility on this, and many other topics.
You'd think there are a whole bunch of people who would be upset that their life's work is being sent down the political rabbit hole. Doubt many feel they are part of an important department or agency any longer.

Cases mean nothing. How many false positives from faulty testing? How many on ventilators?.... I thought so.
The Delta Variant is nothing more than a watered down Summer cold.

Another round in the never-ending war against DeSantis. They just didn't think they'd get caught fudging the figures.

I heard there were 70 million billion cases in Florida, and everyone there is dead, and no one has been vaccinated because DeSantis won't allow it! #journalist

Cases.
Cases.

Not deaths any more.
Cases are largely false positives on their phony baloney tests.

The false number made headlines for a few days. That is all the regime wanted. Now the retraction will appear only on a few conservative sites. The lie goes halfway around the world befor the truth gets out of the gate. The media is the propaganda arm of the DNC.
