If this doesn't make you feel like you belong to their target audience I don't know what will.

I wonder if this firing was truly about refusing to manipulate the data, or the general aversion to a competent government employee .. by other government employees :-). Old Japanese proverb, "The nail that stick up shall be hammered down".

A scientist who created a dashboard for monitoring Florida’s rising number of COVID-19 cases said she’s been fired for refusing to manipulate the data.

mijostyn,

Not to beat the same horse for too long, but you can check under "Donor eligibility" a little lower on the page to see if you qualify. Many people with much less luck than you have had are hoping you do.

To be honest, those reviews were probably started (the boxes arrived at the reviewers' houses) late last year.

Watch any episode of Billions and you'll never ask that question again.

Follow-up on the Florida data manipulation claim.

Jones now says she's been fired from the state Department of Health. In a statement to CBS12 News in West Palm Beach, Fla., Jones said her dismissal came after she refused to "manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen." 

All of Florida entered the first phase of recovery this week when the two largest counties joined the rest of the state in opening restaurants, retail stores and barber shops. 

At a news conference in Tallahassee, Gov. Ron DeSantis called Jones' departure from the Health Department a "nonissue." He said he'd seen an email she sent her supervisor saying she never intended to suggest the information on the dashboard might be less reliable going forward. DeSantis said he believes from the email that "she was tired and needed a break."
