2020 Takes A Bizarre Turn As The 'Grim Reaper' Is Interviewed On TV About Florida's Reopened Beaches
ABC13

Daniel Uhlfelder, a US lawyer has gone viral after dressing as the grim reaper to protest against the reopening of beaches amidst the pandemic.


Uhlfelder made his protest in Walton County, Florida, his home state, because he feels local officials have been “premature" in their decision to allow people back on beaches, even with some social distancing guidelines in place.

A clip of his local news appearance on 13 ABC had been viewed eight million times on Twitter by Saturday afternoon.

In it he is seen speaking to reporter Faith Graham, before hovering ominously in the background behind her.

“It's premature that we open our beaches," he said.

“I think it's going to prolong the recovery that we have and we should take better measures."
