Give Florida and Ron DeSantis credit where it's due

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was right, and his critics were wrong. But many in the media still refuse to admit that Florida’s coronavirus response has worked, chalking up the state’s success to fudged data.

DeSantis is facing two allegations, neither of which has been backed by substantive evidence: The first is from Rebekah Jones, the official behind the state’s COVID-19 Data and Surveillance Dashboard, who claims she was ousted from her position after refusing to “manually change data to drum up support for the plan to reopen.” The second allegation claims that DeSantis is “censoring” coronavirus records by withholding the names of positive COVID-19 patients.
