    Why do you think this man is dressed like Death/The Grim Reaper?

    What would you do/think if you saw someone like this on the beach?

     

     

    A Florida lawyer is visiting beaches dressed as the Grim Reaper. He is calling on Gov. Ron DeSantis to make people wear masks. He says the governor must make people wear masks because masks work.

    Daniel Uhlfelder sued the state's Republican governor earlier this year. He says the governor prematurely opened beaches. Daniel has spent the last few weeks warning beachgoers of the coronavirus's rising danger

    In March he believed this virus would get very bad. He said unfortunately, his predictions have been worse than he expected.

     

    Florida is now has 6,336 new cases of Covid-19. Florida’s total is now 206,447 and 3,778 deaths.

     

    Daniel is targeting beaches because they are drawing people into the state from around the world. And this is increasing the number of people with coronavirus.

     

    Some beachgoers think Daniel is wrong. They think Daniels’ actions are a little bit much.

     

    Daniel says his main concern is not so much Floridian beachgoers. His main concern is the tourists who come from out of state.
