Religious Ignorance Kills: Landon Spradlin, a Virginia pastor who claimed the “mass hysteria” around the coronavirus pandemic was part of a media plot against Trump, has died from the virus.
 Landon Spradlin’s family never got to say goodbye.

The 66-year-old father and husband from Virginia died due to complications from COVID-19 on Wednesday morning in North Carolina.
While on the way home from a mission trip, Spradlin collapsed and was taken to a hospital in Concord, North Carolina. He was eventually put on a ventilator as his condition worsened.

According to reports, Spradlin, a 66-year-old Christian “musical evangelist,” fell ill while on a missionary trip to New Orleans with his wife. 

Friendly Atheist reports Spaldrin went to New Orleans to “wash it from its Sin and debauchery.”

On his Facebook page Spradlin shared a misleading meme attempting to minimize COVID-19, comparing the virus to the swine flu, and suggesting that the response to the coronavirus pandemic was media created “mass hysteria” to damage Trump.

Spradlin also shared a post from a pastor claiming that a missionary in South Africa “protected” himself from the bubonic plague with the “Spirit of God.” A quote from the post reads:

As long as I walk in the light of that law [of the Spirit of life], no germ will attach itself to me.

The stupid, it kills.
The following is a sample of the reactions to Spraldin’s death via Twitter:

Was he a fake pastor?

Lol. All these science deniers. Science seem to always work better than their religion.

No he's not! He's only acting on faith! But he died! It's well with his soul.
I was telling someone today if you like claim and confess everything you want to, but for us to survive this pandemic we only need the mercies of God. All these things have been foretold before now, the end of this age is closing in on us! Let's brace up and embrace God! No more time o.

End of which age? The age of the last of the avian dinosaurs? Or the age of mammals? lol

The world didn't end in past plagues. It didn't end in 2 world wars. It didn't end even in the middle of the threat of nuclear annihilation in the cold war. It is definitely not ending now. Since you guys have decided your religion is useless and powerless, just watch as scientists find a cure or vaccine or a better way to manage the virus.

So God told you that this dead man was born again?
Jesus Christ said by there fruit you shall know them, and I can't say I have examined his fruits so since God didn't tell me this so i will chose to continue to hope that he was.
