"CDC Combines Multiple Days of Data into One to Make it Appear Florida is Reporting Record Number of New Daily Covid Cases"

Source:

"The CDC, with help from fake news media outlets on Monday, reported there was a ‘record’ number of Covid cases in Florida on Sunday.
 

FLORIDA COVID DATA: The state hit yet another record number of new daily cases, reporting 28,317 on Sunday. Here’s the updated state data including cases, deaths, vaccination rates and hospitalizations: https://t.co/jwcZLctho8 pic.twitter.com/qrqhWmxXpE— South Florida Sun Sentinel (@SunSentinel) August 9, 2021

The Florida Health Department scrambled to correct the record as the lie spread like wildfire across several different outlets.


Wrong again. The number of cases @CDCgov released for Florida today is incorrect. They combined MULTIPLE days into one. We anticipate CDC will correct the record. https://t.co/nbKnBNLzvU

The CDC *knowingly* combined several days worth of reporting and condensed it into one day.

The Florida Health Department took to Twitter to correct the record – AGAIN:


This is not accurate. Florida follows CDC guidelines reporting cases Monday through Friday, other than holidays. Consequently, each Monday or Tuesday, there will be two or three days of data reported at a time. When data is published, it is attributed evenly to the previous days.  https://t.co/NjjUmIgM9h

Another news site reported the CDC’s inaccurate information and sounded the alarm on the record number of Covid cases in Florida.

Again, this is based on MULTIPLE DAYS of reporting into one.

The CDC knows this and falsely reported that Florida is experiencing record number of hospitalizations in an effort to attack Governor DeSantis.

Wrong. @cdcgov combined multiple days of data. We anticipate a correction. Please correct this story to ensure accurate reporting to your audiences.
