ORLANDO, Fla. – News 6 has discovered a discrepancy in COVID-19 deaths reported across the state of Florida.
Investigator Louis Bolden dug into the numbers and found that the state of Florida has a different number of deaths reported than many of the state’s medical examiners.
Previously, the state blocked medical examiners from releasing their numbers. Bolden took that information and ran it through News 6′s trust index, which fact checks questionable information circulating on social media and in our communities. [TRUST INDEX: See a questionable claim on social media?
