"The 27-page report from the Florida Department of Health’s Office of Inspector General said it found "insufficient evidence" or no evidence to support Rebekah Jones' accusations that she was asked to falsify Covid positivity rates or misrepresent them on the state’s dashboard she helped design. The report also "exonerated" officials accused by Jones of wrongdoing because they removed a data section from the website to ensure that private individual health information was not released publicly."
Meh it's been awhile since I read that story so it's a bit hazy. Still, dude did everything he could to down play the shit and cover up the bodies. Zero trust.

It's not always about shit on the books man. Go back and watch some of the shit he's said and the things he's done.
Quote:I have zero issue with playing the political game with a company playing the political game. You want special treatment from a state legislature, then don't be shocked when you lose said special treatment after publicly shit talking said legislature.
All the better when people who didn't vote for you have to foot the bill, huh? It also would've reverberated throughout the state and killed a huge part of their tourism draw, hurting more people. Plus he belongs to a party that typically speaking allows businesses to run amok - apparently until they decide to cater to their customers as opposed to their employees (and yes I'm implying businesses have governors and congress members on payroll).
Quote:Given Florida's population skewing elderly, for obvious reasons, I don't see their Covid death rate, lower than Washington and the same as Massachusetts as some crazy example of horrible executive action. I can see such an accusation of Cuomo, who deliberately housed Covid patients with that most at risk group, but I'm not seeing that with DeSantis, although I may not be aware of some information that you are. I'll certainly allow for that.

I would stress that Covid's mortality rate is highly linked to age, the older the person the far more likely they were to die from Covid. So, we can logically extrapolate that a state with a higher elderly population would experience more deaths than one with a lower elderly population regardless of any action taken. I don't think this absolutely exonerates DeSantis, but it does provide some very important context.
All that being said, I don't see your labeling him as "Deathsentence" to be a justified conclusion.
You can abuse the numbers all you want and say 'well old folks'; bodies are bodies. Preventable deaths are preventable deaths.
