Jared Moskowitz, Florida official overseeing COVID-19 response, resigns

(Local10News) TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A top Florida official responsible for his state’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak is stepping down.

Moskowitz, 40, is a Democrat and former member of the state House.

When Gov. Ron DeSantis needed to hire a data analyst, his staff picked a little-known Ohio sports blogger and Uber driver whose only relevant experience is spreading harmful conspiracy theories about COVID-19 on the Internet.
