It is disgusting that anybody would sit around and try and conjure up a way not to report deaths. What the state decided was only the county and state a person lives in would count, so that excluded what amounts to ten percent of the deaths in Florida from snowbirds dying there but because Florida isn't their permanent residence then they aren't included in the death toll. The good news is that it isn't looking to be going to work out that way for them as the county medical examiners went to the county attorney's and got a legal opinion that the list they make are public information and can be given to the public, the public pays for it with their tax dollars so they are entitled to it. So the State Health Departments can try and hide the snowbird deaths but it will get out via the county medical examiners.
The state now is doing what they claim is a revised list that will redact personal information...that's what investigative reporters are waiting for them to release next and to see what the state means by redacting personal information. What a sham.
