Just once I'd like to see some sass from the reporters when he says "that's enough of you". "I don't work for you Mr. President, you work for us".
Yeah, I'd like to hear that myself, said to any of these politicians by any reporter of any stripe just to see how quickly the feigned outrage would occur by each side of the isle.
The narrative was Ricter posting about a Republican Gov squelching the data. I posted one about the same thing happening in CO, a state with a Dem Gov. He looked at the photo of the guy and assumed I posted because it was about some minority doing something bad. I doubt he even read the article. PS: Sorry I called you a asshole, Ricter. Now where's my cookie?
More information on the DeSantis administration working to hide COVID-19 information and present fake data.... and firing the data scientist who objected to this. This is a data scientist who was praised by Dr. Brix for putting together the best COVID-19 dashboard in the United States. DeSantis administration fires COVID-19 data guru for ‘insubordination’ https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article242851256.html The outspoken architect of Florida’s nationally praised COVID-19 dashboard was fired Tuesday after going public with her concerns about the Department of Health’s commitment to “accessibility and transparency.” The Herald previously reported on a message Rebekah Jones sent last Friday to users of a state data portal announcing that she had been removed from overseeing the dashboard and hinting that she had been stripped of the responsibility as a result of raising concerns about the state’s commitment to transparency. She told the Tampa Bay Times Tuesday that she had been offered the choice to resign or be fired next Monday. The Times reported that she had been asked to remove fields from publicly available COVID-19 data indicating when patients had begun experiencing symptoms after media requests about the data. In a statement, the spokeswoman for Gov. Ron DeSantis, Helen Aguirre Ferré, confirmed that Jones was fired for insubordination. “Rebekah Jones exhibited a repeated course of insubordination during her time with the department, including her unilateral decisions to modify the department’s COVID-19 dashboard without input or approval from the epidemiological team or her supervisors,” Ferré said. “The blatant disrespect for the professionals who were working around the clock to provide the important information for the COVID-19 website was harmful to the team. Accuracy and transparency are always indispensable, especially during an unprecedented public health emergency such as COVID-19. Having someone disruptive cannot be tolerated during this public pandemic, which led the department to determine that it was best to terminate her employment.” Jones had attracted national attention for her work creating the dashboard, which had been singled out for praise last month by Deborah Birx, coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force. After the news of her ouster, state Sen. José Javier Rodríguez, D-Miami, called for an investigation into Jones’ removal and allegations that she had been pressured to manipulate data. “It’s infuriating and very dangerous if, in fact, employees who manage public information are being asked to alter it for an objective other than to provide information to the public,” Rodríguez said. “You have decision makers in the private sector and the public sector looking to this data to make life and death decisions.” Even before the removal of Jones, questions about Florida’s COVID-19 data had persisted. The Herald and a consortium of other news outlets sued the state over its initial refusal to release data about COVID-19 cases and deaths in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. The state finally began releasing data about cases in long-term care data in late April. And the state is inconsistent in how it chooses to represent key data points. Hospitalization data includes the aggregate number of people who have been hospitalized, not current numbers of people hospitalized, but the state replaced the overall case count with the number of “new positive COVID-19 cases.” Gov. DeSantis, who has touted the state’s low positive rate of cases as a justification for reopening the state, initially spoke of the positive rate among all cases, but has more recently focused on the percentage of positives among new cases, which has tended to be lower. Jones had worked at the Department of Health since September 2018, according to a copy of her résumé that she posted online. She began work on the COVID-19 dashboard in early March, she told the mapping company Esri, and the dashboard went public on March 16. (More at above url)
classic trumptard. Thinks disagreement over a single death in a podunk county is the same as fudging data for one of the most populous states in the country. Also in trumptard fashion, thinks I'm Ricter
He's not the only one. Arnie - expect Ricter to show up any minute under his VPN to post how it isn't him and that he was just "happening by" like last time.
You people are so gullible. But thanks for playing! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ired-affair-student-arrested-three-times.html Oh, and she has a MANIFESTO!
