This a little Old, but I poked around.
A newsweek article from 29 April speaks of this in the past tense.


My understanding says that for its own dashboard FL did not include data from Medical Examiners, However the full data was available to CDC.


GA is a different, but related issue. GA attempts to assign all Tests, deaths back to the time of the first symptom - This means that the last two weeks appears understated. This is only in the GA dashboard, data reported to CDC is not adjusted in this way



These differences are evident by comparing the states' health dept dashboards to Worldometers .. or, well, any other data aggregator.
