A man from Florida plans to travel in different beaches that have recently opened early during the COVID-19 outbreak while wearing a complete Grim Reaper, says an article.

Daniel Uhlfelder, a lawyer, based in Santa Rosa Beach, will be starting his Grim Reaper tour on May 1. He will be wearing scary costumes as a form of warning to people who fail to observe social distancing guidelines.

Grim Reaper Inspires Florida Man

Uhlfelder was inspired to make a move after Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, allowed the reopening of some beaches in the state. This news had resulted in some widespread concern about safety from his decision.

In a statement he included in his fundraising page, he said confirmed that he would be traveling to the coastal towns to warn his fellow citizens about the importance of social distancing while wearing a Grim Reaper costume. 

Uhlfelder plans to ensure that the people of Florida can understand how important it is for them to remain at home and resist breaking the rules on social distancing in newly opened beaches.

Also, the swim reaper of Florida intends to make use of his Grim Reaper customer as a way to raise money.

On a tweet on April 22, he said that his Grim Reaper costume is on its way and will be arriving the following week. He had already raised $3,417 of his $20,000 fundraising goal.

The public service campaign in New Zealand, where a 'swim reaper' is promoting safety in the waters, inspired him. It is a helpful strategy at preventing people from drowning, and now a seemingly effective strategy in social distancing implementation.

Limited Mass Gatherings

On March 17, it was reported that DeSantis ordered all the beaches in the state to limit gatherings of not more than ten people, and they should be six feet apart from each other.

On April 2, it was prohibited in Florida to conduct mass gatherings and nonessential activities outdoors. Exemptions to these activities include fishing, walking, swimming, and jogging, and as long as the people follow social distancing guidelines.

Some beaches in the state have already reopened. It is reopened for limited recreation with the strict observation of social distancing.

The Real Grim Reaper

Grim Reaper is a personified version of death. Its imagery dates back to centuries of the history of man.

Its image had changed over the years. However, one thing remains a classic image of the grim Reaper. It is often represented by a big black cloak, with skeletal body parts, glowing eyes, and a scythe. Every part of the iconic outfit of the Grim Reaper is a symbol of something.

For example, the black cloak represents death hiding in the shadows, and the skeletal body parts and glowing eyes represent that the Reaper has traveled to Earth from hell to take other people back with him.
