Florida officials are no longer publishing the state's coronavirus death data - Business Insider

The Florida Department of Health has withheld the state's coronavirus death data for more than a week,The health department is also preventing Florida's medical examiners from publishing the state's death tally on their own after a discrepancy was found between their count and the department's official count.

The health department told the Times it wanted to revise the data following the discrepancy with medical examiner figures, but did not provide details on "what they plan to remove." A representative for Florida's state health department didn't immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

The state health department was recently in talks with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement about "privacy concerns for the individuals that passed away related to COVID-19," a health department spokesperson told the Times. Unlike the health department's count, the medical examiners' tally does not include names.

If Trump were a governor

I agree it’s get so depressing now

Looks like China won't be the first country to deliberately hide infection numbers and death tolls.

troykeasling So much for full disclosure after failing to force closure.

We’re all good here. 👍🏼 No need to continue to feed the rhetoric.

Coward.

Wowwwww that’s savage

Probably because it will be added to the seasonal flu data as it should be.

Personally, I do think that anyone with flu symptoms ought to stay home till it passes.

Just like the flu. Who cares about numbers? Staying home with the flu was, still is, considered weak.

Why wouldn’t they want us to know the amount people dying from this?

Geez, now why would a trump puppet not want the numbers of deaths in his state known after keeping beaches open?

Bastards.

The state has a duty to track these numbers. It is negligence to stop tracking.

This year I only want to be around the people that love me, not the people that pretend they do.
