This man dismissed the coronavirus as a ‘political ploy’ — and then COVID-19 killed him

In Ohio, conservative Republican Gov. Mike DeWine has been lambasted by far-right groups for issuing a stay-at-home order in his state and promoting social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic. One of DeWine’s critics was 60-year-old John W. McDaniel, who dismissed COVID-19 as a “political ploy” and angrily railed against the Ohio governor.

But sadly, McDaniel has since died from the very thing he didn’t take seriously.
