Co-founder of ReOpen Maryland says he has tested positive for coronavirus
Source: Washington Post
A Maryland man who organized rallies to pressure Gov. Larry Hogan (R) to lift the states stay-home order says he has tested positive for the novel coronavirus and does not plan to provide names of people with whom he had contact to public health officials for contact tracing.
Tim Walters, a co-founder of ReOpen Maryland, said on social media this week that he has had a dry cough for months but it recently worsened. He then began to experience an excruciating headache, a fever and the inability to focus with one of his eyes, which led to vertigo.
Walters, 53, a diabetic who has had mini-strokes, said he went to a hospital emergency room Monday and was diagnosed with the virus. Here I am months after not wearing a mask at rallies, churches and so on, and so its funny how capricious this thing is, he said in a Facebook video. He did not respond to an interview request.
A Republican and Navy veteran who twice lost races for the Maryland House of Delegates, Walters led rallies in Annapolis, on the Eastern Shore and across the state demanding that Hogan lift restrictions he imposed to slow the spread of the virus. The demonstrations were part of a national movement to reopen states where shutdowns were in effect.

No way we should expose medical personnel to this type of dick-head.
No ventilator for you. Give it to someone who deserves it. He should be last on the list.

If were sick and Im not wearing a mask and you are but I am more than six feet away, what does it matter? he said.
If he is somehow digging up his nose to find "particles", then obviously he is not wearing the mask correctly.
