A Florida man and lawyer is trying to put the fear of death into “covidiots” in his state, by dressing up as the grim reaper and hanging around the beach to remind them that the pandemic is not over. Lawyer Daniel Uhlfelder kicked off his “Grim Reaper Death Tour” at Miramar Beach in Walton County, Fla., on Friday, after Tweeting about it last month and after SNL’s Colin Jost mentioned it during Weekend Update.

“I’m here today to try to make a point that we need to - I think it’s premature that we open our beaches,” Uhlfelder said, in an interview with ABC 13 at the beach on Friday.

“It’s too soon and it’s not appropriate,” he said.

His local interview as the Grim Reaper has since gone viral.
