Who Can We Trust When It Comes To The Corona Virus?

from Good Morning Gwinnett Podcast · host Audrey Bell-Kearney

www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Florida and Georgia, two states that were among the first to announce the reopening of businesses and public spaces amid the health crisis, have come under scrutiny for their reporting on Covid-19 cases.In Florida, Rebekah Jones, the official behind the state's "dashboard," a web page showing the number of Covid-19 cases and deaths in Florida that's been praised by Dr. Deborah Birx, says she was removed from the project and questioned the state's commitment to accessibility and transparency, according to Florida Today.In Georgia, data tracking Covid-19 cases in the state has come under question after a misleading chart was posted on the state Department of Public Health's web page, according to an article by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.Late last Friday, Jones announced in an email to researchers and people who had signed up to receive updates about the data portal that she had been removed from her post at the Florida Department of Health, according to Florida Today."As a word of caution, I would not expect the new team to continue the same level of accessibility and transparency that I made central to the process during the first two months," Jones wrote, according to Florida Today.Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis contested the claims during a press conference Tuesday, referencing an email from Jones and said her words had been "misrepresented," and that the situation was "a non-issue."SOURCE: www.GwinnettDailyPost.com#Podcast, #DailyHoroscopes,Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/good-morning-gwinnett-podcast--3262933/support.🎙️ Good Morning Gwinnett PodcastThe #1 hyperlocal podcast in Georgia, produced by Noise Media Network.
