MIAMI, FL - JUNE 08: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis gesticulates during a press conference relating hurricane season updates at the Miami-Dade Emergency Operations Center on June 8, 2020 in Miami, Florida. NOAA has predicted that this year's Atlantic hurricane season will be more active than usual with up to 19 named storms and 6 major hurricanes possible.

This morning, we got the first witness-based evidence of what had become rather obvious to many observers, that the Florida reporting of COVID-19 data has been a complete fraud. We had already heard rumored accounts of COVID-19 deaths being intentionally mis-classified as pneumonia and other causes. Many have observed that Florida’s reported death rate was completely out of line with the rest of the data. But now we learn that the rest of the data was highly manipulated by the DeSantis people in this interview on NPR.
