I was never good at math but it seems like 98 percent to 9 percent is a pretty big discrepancy....amirite?

Must be some of that common core math.

i don't know, but 98 feels a lot like 9.8 to me

Incompetent people who claim to be competent are in positions that they shouldn’t be. But it’s not right to criticize some.

Something like a factor of 11 times wronger-er.

I'm sure the journalists that reported this are going to get a nice talking too from Corporate, and it ain't gonna be a pat on the back and a heck of a job.

Can't have journalists doing actual investigative journalism and challenging the narrative.

These people already lied about hydroxychloroquine's efficacy simply because Orange Man said it was a possible treatment. Thousands likely died because of TDS...

This is why I've always despised the r/DataIsBeautiful sub... the useful idiots have no idea how chaotic data collection truly is, how many people don't even put in the effort, and how many people just outright lie because fuck you. Also worth mentioning the downright fraud involved due to "Incentives" and lets not forget the dumbfucks who don't give a shit when doing data entry cause its just a check.

Trump and desnatis need to tweet this and even publicly speak on it...

lostwingman 10 points ago +10 / -0

Oh no way...we are being lied to? How could that have happened.

Don't worry guys, the inflating of numbers is just a conspiracy theory. Nevermind that the rising numbers are being used as a political weapon. That's just ignorant. Y'll ignorant.

Not only that, but they never report tests given only "positive cases".

Same in NYC... Neg results are nvr reported

And nvr death from Covid alone as oppose to death with Covid

If those numbers ever come out then you'll get real riots

That’s right. They’re only giving absolute numbers. Not RATES. I mean what hell is going on?!

Revised down more often than Obama's monthly job numbers...

This shit is so tiresome. Some post-doctorate douchebag sets the policy, hires some minimum wage schlubs to count up results that support the policy, then when someone discovers the glaring problems, "Oops, our caged retards counted wrong."

Accountability is dead.

ElectricChad 5 points ago +5 / -0

This shit needs to be investigated pronto. Today they reported over 9,000 positive cases, in the tiny script at the bottom admitted this includes multiple tests for the same people. WTF? Also, saying the death rate is skyrocketing (43) to keep the fear mongering goin.

The corrections may be quietly shared at the bottom of the original reports... or not.

This all came from twitter warriors last week. No news outlets were touching it.

http://ww11.doh.state.fl.us/comm/_partners/covid19_report_archive/state_reports_latest.pdf

report referenced in Fox's article- page 29: Lee Memorial Hospital Lab - 405 cases, all positive Pancare of Florida, Inc. - 405 cases, all positive

some is...fucky. are they just fudging numbers, counting the same test multiple times or something else entirely. you're really telling me that both of these sites did EXACTLY 405 tests and ALL of them were positive? Someone should call bullshit- this whole situation reeks of it.
