And the there was this:

:facepalm:
The Texas Republican Party confirmed Apley’s death on Twitter…conspicuously leaving off his cause of death.
The 45-year-old leaves behind a wife and a young child (both of whom have also tested positive for Covid).
A GoFundMe page has been set up for medical (and now funeral) expenses and has raised ~$29K so far.
H. Scott Apley, a councilmember of Dickinson, Texas and member of the Texas State Republican Executive Committee, has died from COVID-19.
… Apley [was described] as "a staunch conservative and devout Christian" who also left behind a long history of anti-mask and anti-vax propaganda on his social media accounts.
"In May, Apley posted an invitation for a 'mask burning' being held at a bar in Cincinnati, commenting, 'I wish I lived in the area!'" reports The Daily Beast. "A couple of weeks earlier, he posted a news article about giveaways and incentives meant to encourage people to get vaccinated, writing, 'Disgusting.'…Recently, he suggested that mask mandates… were akin to Na zism."
