#3How many other instances are out there where authorities "can't say what someone is charged with" until they're in custody. This smells like a CYA deal with DeSantis and his partisan bungling of the COVID crisis.

Having cops invade her home and hold her children at gunpoint didn’t scare her into becoming his scapegoat, so it’s important to escalate the campaign of violence against her.

"We were just following the WHO recommendations."
"She's just a web developer and doesn't understand anything about the numbers."

#8DeSantis couldn't do a better job of turning her into a hero and himself into a villain.
What do you think will come next? I see her winning a lawsuit against him or some part of the state.

#10What a weird story that keeps getting weirder.
I am a data scientist who spent June in Tallahassee helping coordinate state-wide COVID testing with FDEM (Florida Department of Emergency Management) and state health officials.
Everyone I worked with was pretty dedicated to getting the roll out right (including the governor and his appointees too..)
My data & work was spread far and wide with no issue - but just a personal anecdote
