Ohio man dies of coronavirus after calling it a 'political ploy'

An Ohio man is dead from COVID-19 weeks after claiming the coronavirus pandemic was a “political ploy.”

John W. McDaniel died at age 60 on Wednesday, April 15, in Columbus, Ohio, according to an obituary in the Marion Star. The newspaper said “Johnny McDaniel” was the first coronavirus death in Marion County; the obit said he died “with his loving family by his side from complications from Covid-19.”

The New York Post reports social media posts show McDaniel angrily dismissed coronavirus concerns last month and said Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine’s stay-at-home order was political.

“Does anybody have the guts to say this COVID-19 is a political ploy? Asking for a friend. Prove me wrong,” he wrote March 13 on Facebook.

It appears that Mr. McDaniel received the proof that he was wrong.

That family needs to be quarantined If not today since they know for a fact (with evidence their greatest foe) was that Covid-19 is real.
