VIRGINIA — A 66-year-old Virginia resident who fell ill with the new coronavirus, or COVID-19, on a trip to New Orleans died Wednesday morning at a hospital in Concord, North Carolina. The death of Landon Spradlin, an accomplished musician and a pastor, has drawn viral attention online, in part because earlier this month Spradlin questioned whether media coverage of the disease was overblown.

It is with great saddens to hear of the first COVID-19 victim within our NYPD family. Custodial Assistant Dennis Dickson succumbed to the illness after serving the department for 14 years. #RIP

He chose... poorly.
It also appears he drew viral attention *offline*.

Well, another travel vacation that didn’t end well. What part of stay home do people not understand. It’s a simple concept. Takes no brains. Takes no money. Put on some pjs and fuzzy slippers and chill.
