Founder of ReOpen Movement Who Refused Masks Tests Positive for Coronavirus

The co-founder of a movement to reopen Maryland at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic has tested positive for the virus after refusing to wear a face mask.

Tim Walters helped organize rallies with the group ReOpen Maryland, demanding that Maryland Governor Larry Hogan rescind his stay-at-home order in April.

Earlier this week, Walters said he had tested positive for COVID-19 in a series of Facebook videos, some of which have since been deleted.

"I was diagnosed yesterday at the ER with COVID-19 and here I am months after not wearing a mask at rallies, churches and so on and so it's funny how capricious this thing is," Walters said in a video on Tuesday, according to The Capital Gazette, who first reported on the test result.

1. "It's funny how capricious this thing is"

Yeah, hilarious.

2. It is all about playing the odds

some folks just don't get it.

8. It's also about learning from other's mistakes and others knowledge

Which requires a certain humility or empathy.

He refuses to let the government do contact tracing, saying that he has gotten touch with everyone “he can think of” and let more with the government be able to do? So he can’t picture the people who do contact tracing might actually be able to help identify additional people before they put other peoples lives at risk.

He convinced himself that he knows all he needs to know, and didn’t respect the knowledge Or professions of others.

3. Stupid is as stupid does

Best of luck with the Covid-19. Hope you didn't give it to grandma or anyone else in your family.

4. Another martyr for trump's stupid battle with science

They should have known that a virus has no political affiliation and will infect everyone.

5. Another maskhole gets what's coming

If only he’d been warned...

6. What a stupid maskhole!

7. And imagine that

He ended up going to an ER to find out he had become infected with it.
