"But with more than 32,000 people dead across the state from COVID-19, and the DeSantis administration accused of hiding the true scope of the pandemic in Florida, some are unconvinced. Last spring, attorney Daniel Uhlfelder took to the beaches of Florida dressed as the
as the Grim Reaper as a criticism of DeSantis’s handling of the pandemic. Since then he has emerged as one of the governor’s most vociferous critics, and is part of an effort to defeat him in 2022. “Florida is still a huge hot spot, and our vaccination rollout is a disaster,”
Uhlfelder told Yahoo News, alluding to allegations that DeSantis prioritized predominantly Republican communities for inoculation efforts (the governor has emphatically denied such charges).
“The tens of thousands of spring breakers coming here, going to bars and restaurants maskless and piling into hotel rooms, houses and condos without social distancing, is going to prolong the recovery even more.”

‘The year that transformed the world’: US museum launches Covid exhibition theguardian.com/us-news/2021/m…
Arguably the star exhibit is the gown and scythe belonging to the Grim Reaper, an outfit worn by a Florida attorney on several of the state’s crowded beaches last spring as he protested against the refusal of Governor Ron DeSantis to close them down.
