On Sunday, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) together with their partner FAKE NEWS outlet are spreading incorrect information about the Florida COVID cases.
Here’s what the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported on Monday using the CDC’s inaccurate data:
“FLORIDA COVID DATA: The state hit yet another record number of new daily cases, reporting 28,317 on Sunday. Here’s the updated state data including cases, deaths, vaccination rates and hospitalizations.”

However, On Tuesday the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revised their previously FAKE reporting and said that Florida had 15,322 additional daily coronavirus cases and 16 more deaths in revised data one day after the state’s Department of Health disputed its information.
“The number of cases @CDCgov released for Florida today is incorrect,” the department said on Twitter. “They combined MULTIPLE days into one. We anticipate CDC will correct the record.”

The Florida Health Department scrambled to correct the record as the lie spread like wildfire across several different outlets.
“Wrong again. The number of cases CDC released for Florida today is incorrect. They combined MULTIPLE days into one. We anticipate CDC will correct the record.” The FL Health Dept said.

The Florida Department of Health said those numbers were accumulated over “multiple days” and later provided the following figures:
- Friday, Aug. 6: 21,500
- Saturday, Aug. 7: 19,567
- Sunday, Aug. 8: 15,319
- 3-day average: 18,795
Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Monday that he suspected that, since the CDC does not report on Sundays and Florida sent in three days worth of data, the federal agency combined the numbers.

The CDC *knowingly* combined several days’ worth of reporting and condensed it into one day.
The Florida Health Department took to Twitter to correct the record – AGAIN:
“This is not accurate. Florida follows CDC guidelines reporting cases Monday through Friday, other than holidays. Consequently, each Monday or Tuesday, there will be two or three days of data reported at a time. When data is published, it is attributed evenly to the previous days.”

Another news site reported the CDC’s inaccurate information and sounded the alarm on the record number of Covid cases in Florida.
Again, this is based on MULTIPLE DAYS of reporting into one.
The CDC knows this and falsely reported that Florida is experiencing record number of hospitalizations in an effort to attack Governor DeSantis.
“Wrong. The CDC combined multiple days of data. We anticipate a correction. Please correct this story to ensure accurate reporting to your audiences.” the Florida Health Department said in a tweet to Spectrum News 13.

The CDC halved the weekend data sent by the state of Florida, 56,633 new cases — noting 28,316 new cases Saturday and 28,317 new cases Sunday. Either number blasts the state past the previous high of 23,903 established on Friday by 18.5%.
Along with that infection record, the state set another with 13,977 current hospitalizations, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
In total, the CDC reported 239 COVID deaths for Florida on Saturday and Sunday.
