I’m in Florida where they made the numbers smaller and smaller as time went on. They changed the way graphing is done to where the NEW NUMBERS wouldn’t be shown on the day but would get bumped back into weekly sliding average, so if there was a really peak day, you won’t see it until a week later – and then it’ll be buried among the sliding average from the week previous so that the front line of the numbers of death and ill always looked low.
NOBODY does statistics like that, particularly infectious diseases. But Florida did.
And how the hushed local officials from hospital to city to county to regional areas from giving ANY numbers was something I’d never seen before, particularly in the state that previously was known for its Sunshine laws of open records.
But I’m biased; my family doctor died of Covid. I live deep in the woods. The closest corner store was 7 miles away and he was across the street from that store.
I don’t live in the city part; we all have like 2.5 acres, rednecky area traditionally – or wanna be anyway – lots of trucks with testicles at least their used to be.
Anyway, whatever games might have been played elsewhere, I know for sure of the games played here and I never saw such a deriliction of duty as I did in Florida during that time. Infectious disease is SO BASIC in the human health needs and they turned it into this shitshow for future votes.
