Richard Rose: Ohio Man Dies of COVID-19 after Anti-Mask Post | Heavy.com
This also isn't the first case of someone downplaying the virus and then contracting and perishing from it.
Richard Rose passed away on July 4 from complications of COVID-19, just a few days after he tested positive for the coronavirus. Now posts are going viral online that show him saying he didn’t believe in wearing masks back in April. Heavy has confirmed that those posts are indeed authentic. In mid-June, he posted about attending a crowded outdoor public pool, and later said that he thought he may have caught coronavirus there. Many people who knew and loved Rose have posted tributes to him, including a paranormal group where he was well known, and funds are being collected for his funeral costs.
It's really sad to see this sort of thing happen. COVID-19 is real. There are probably a lot of deaths that could be prevented if only more people could learn to take it seriously.
