He's the Grim Reaper.

The Florida Grim Reaper Tour may be coming to a beach near you.

To protest people packing the sands, a Santa Rosa Beach lawyer is taking action and hitting the road.

Daniel Uhlfelder, who is originally from Miami, will dress as the Grim Reaper starting Friday, he announced on Twitter.

The creepy getup may appear as if Halloween has come early. But it’s really meant to scare people away.

“Many of you have asked if I am willing to travel around Florida wearing Grim Reaper attire to the beaches and other areas of the state opening up prematurely,” Uhlfelder tweeted. “The answer is absolutely yes.”

Uhlfelder will wear the terrifying black-hooded robe and scythe as the hulking symbol of death.

Watch how many obviously sick people get turned away. The PTB are not giving us the honest
numbers. I have it on good authority from a reliable member of the local medical community.
Not only are the numbers unreliable but the some CV patients are listed as pneumonia or as
respiratory failure instead, so they never show up in the CV stats we see every day.

I hope we make it out of this. I'm a three way "at risk" patient, so it might just be a matter of
time with me. But I hate to hear about young people being symptomatic just because they
refused to wear a mask.
