Coronavirus: Pastor who decried 'hysteria' dies after attending Mardi Gras

He viewed the [Mardi Gras] festivities as an opportunity, through music, to save the souls of some of the hundreds of thousands of people that would attend.

"I don't even remember us talking about the virus," says Naomi Spradlin, 26. "With what's happened we keep looking back, and we didn't talk about it once."

Pastor Spradlin was one of those who became ill, but tested negative for Covid-19. Even as he was sick, he posted on social media about "hysteria" surrounding the virus.

So about 7% of the people will be false negatives.

He will get the Darwin award, albeit posthumously.
