Background:
@GeoRebekah at Florida Dept. Health objected to the plan to recount every time a test was *negative* but not recount when a test was positive. Frontline workers are often retested. This biased the positivity metric, gaming it to allow reopening https://www.npr.org/2020/06/14/876584284/fired-florida-data-scientist-launches-a-coronavirus-dashboard-of-her-own …1 reply 2 retweets 4 likes -

She was fired and then launched her own dashboard.

PoliMath @politicalmathbtw, not that it's particularly compelling in light of what else is going on, but I wrote a bit about Rebekah Jones' new FL COVID dashboard and why I think more data is better and omg for the last time, Florida isn't hiding data https://polimath.substack.com/p/same-data-different-vibe … pic.twitter.com/VDxG6D3JW4Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I like her, but she gets really worked up and she's kind of making a name for herself as a "Florida's data is fake" person, which puts me off somewhat. I've been calling around the Florida DOH asking questions and things are rarely as simple as she makes them out to be.

From what I recall this multiple counting of negative tests had the effect to artificially lower the positivity % from 18% to less than 10% (IIRC) allowing the deaprtment to politically justify reopening.

The connection I'm really skeptical of is the "politically justify re-opening" one. The easiest way to politically justify re-opening is to say "You know what? Our old metric was dumb. Here's a new one." That what we've done in WA, we've changed the rules twice now.

It is so much *work* to fudge the numbers. Like... tons of work that you need to coordinate between doctors, hospitals, and public health officials. To do all that when you could say "Nah, things look fine. We're reopening" seems weird.
