NO ONE is Really going to know how bad this virus is for about another year at least. It's too new and since it's a virus they tend to be comparing it to another VIRUS, not a disease. No one wants anyone to die but people do, everyday from lots of things. Let's not twist peoples words to something you THINK they MEAN. Personally my OPINION, it's overblown. That's my opinion, nothing scientific.

Of course it turns out that she was trying to add people that weren't confirmed as positive to the numbers. Just people who thought they probably had it. And she isn't a scientist.
Also a disgruntled employee telling a press outlet something and then confirming it to another outlet means we have a seriously big journalism problem.

Rebekah Jones’ firing is the COVID clickbait the media dreams of – but it’s All Fake. Several Media outlets published the “manipulated or deleted data” conspiracy theory. All for the same reason...

My bet would be that she is telling the truth, given the politics and the governor. @Whosits

What I find ironic is that many of the same people who deny and dismiss her account, have bought into the Plandemic conspiracy theory. Things that make you go hmmm.
