The scientist who created Florida's COVID-19 data portal wasn't just removed from her position, she was fired, she said.
Lucky Tran, a Biologist and public health communicator at Columbia University, on Twitter reacted to the news in a series of tweets: "When politicians censor scientists and manipulate the numbers, the rest of us suffer," he wrote.
But emails from Jones through April showed that Jones was the one responding to feedback from researchers in a bid to improve and update her product. Jones told the USA TODAY Network that she alone was responsible for "every line of code." "Sorry if I’ve been a little slow to respond these last few days," she wrote to data users in an email just 3 days later reporting updates to how data was organized, and the inclusion of county-level race data.
"We’re gearing up to provide more analytics and data, and would not be able to process the full dataset twice daily with the staff we have," she wrote.
