"Fudging the numbers" is a vague accusation. If I arbitrarily add $1 to net profit on my company's annual report, then I've "cooked the books" but who cares.
If you read the emails related to this case, it's clear that the behavior she describes as "fudging the numbers" has no material impact on Florida's Covid-19 reporting.

I'm saying the allegation is that they fudged them, and therefore you can't simply point to the official numbers to support the claim that they did not fudge them. The way to refute that claim is with transparency and addressing this woman's specific complaints. Of course the state isn't really obligated to refute every claim made against them, but whether they do it don't, I'm only saying that the state is only denying her claim, snot actual evidence to support their counter claim of no manipulation of the data.
