I’m not saying that is definitely the case but I’m eagerly awaiting their response.
Withholding information on nursing home cases, interfering with media law firms, refusing coroners to release any information so far.
But now, apparently, "she's doing it wrong; we just want to make sure accurate and complete numbers get out to the public".
Fleeting suspicion, indeed.
I’m basing my suspension on the reported article, I’m not making any accusations. Though as has been reported, there have been issues where poor reporting of numbers (like reporting deaths by date reported instead of date of death), led to significantly distorted interpretations, which good data scientists would tell you that you need to avoid. This is similar to someone making a “technically true” graph with an offset origin to make it look like there is a huge relative difference between two columns. In that case how you make your visuals matter. And if someone tells you that you need to “manually change the origin to zero” and you won’t do it because your report suits your narrative, then that’s an issue. If it’s actually the case that she wanted to keep showing deaths by date reported instead of date of death because a spike appearing in the less acccurate report made it look like deaths spiked after opening up, then that’s a valid issue.
But again, this is all just speculation backing a suspicion and it will be interesting to see their response. Her report is extremely light on details and can’t really be described as whistleblowing as much as just someone venting personal frustrations online and making currenlty unbased accusations. That may change if she provides further details to back her claims of cause.
Which, by the way, it never was: the lies you imagine would have been easy and quick to expose. And the (completely imaginary!) smear of incompetence you came up with never really explained why she would feel the need for revenge? At least no more than any other story: maybe she was fired because she was madly in love with Governor? Maybe she accidentally killed her supervisor's dog?
Or, maybe, we should tend trust people. At least as long as any counter-narrative is less believable than 80s porn plots.
If you where told that you where no longer lead on a project at work and your reaction is to email the customers that “the new guys taking over will likely not serve you as well as I have” I expect you’d end up fired as well.
