The head of the Florida public information portal that lists the number of coronavirus casualties and cases claims she was ousted from the project for refusing to censor the dismal data.

Rebekah Jones said the responsibility for updating the COVID-19 Data and Surveillance Dashboard was taken from her office on May 5 and, in an email first obtained by the newspaper Florida Today, she questioned the state Department of Health’s pledge to maintain “accessibility and transparency.”

The lack of transparency behind the coronavirus stats is very concerning news. Politicians and the government should not be able to manipulate coronavirus data to prematurely lift a lockdown which leads to even more deaths. In fact, if it's actually safe to lift the lockdown, there should be data which backs that approach. Let me guess, the data doesn't support it so they want to cover it up.

There was also a report of 17 states still having coronavirus cases and deaths on the uptrend yet basically are being forced to reopen prematurely against their will. Shades of the Big Brother here. Damn shame hundreds of thousands of people will lose their lives because of this.

Big brother was all about data censorship. People who didn't say what they want propoganded were removed from their positions and some never heard from again.

The irony of calling someone big brother because they won't restrict your freedom of movement by force. :oldlol:

This lady sounds like a nutjob. She had superiors but was making unilateral decisions regarding data input by herself and causing problems. Not to mention that she's in charge of keeping the state's dashboard running but is complaining of her glitchy email and having problems with her password reset. :biggums: Also I'm sure all the problems they had with the dashboard going down and working glitchy right up to her firing had nothing to do with being let go. What a nutcase this lady is.
