""The medical examiners list has now been withheld by state officials for nearly two weeks. ""Dr. Stephen Nelson, the chairperson of Florida’s Medical Examiners Commission, told the Tampa Bay Times that state officials plan to remove causes of death and case descriptions. ""In March, the Miami Herald reported that the medical examiner’s office in Miami-Dade County was asked to restrict access to its death records. "Oh, and this article is dated May 1.  To add to that - on May 18th, Florida fired the top data scientist tasked with tracking the epidemic for the state.  She claims it is because she refused to cook the data, the governor says otherwise.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/05/20/859741245/florida-governor-defends-firing-of-top-data-scientist[/URL]That Florida is not doing a good job of reporting on coronavirus in the state seems pretty clear, even if one source of that information is of questionable.But, Florida is not the only state that may be engaged in some data manipulation.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.businessinsider.com/states-manipulate-coronavirus-data-reopen-2020-5?fbclid=IwAR3KzeT3hdIAprDlxzG1lOj2aClz2dXLCZrTmYf1EEV5BdDHV1FC9fyXGRM[/URL]</blockquote>
