Florida police raid home of fired coronavirus data scientist

The home of a COVID-19 data scientist who formerly worked for the state of Florida was raided by state police on Monday.

Police executed a search warrant on Rebekah Jones, who was fired from the Florida Department of Health in the spring and is being investigated over whether she accessed an emergency messaging system at the agency to encourage her former colleagues to speak out about coronavirus case data that she claims were manipulated to facilitate reopening the state.
