A spokesman for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has deactivated his Twitter account after he posted a tweet that photos of each dead COVID-19 victim should be balanced with 99 photos of people who survive the disease.
The tweet was captured in screenshots by a WLRN reporter and a reporter from the Miami Herald.
And it appears that Fred Piccolo Jr. just deleted his account entirely. Here's a screenshot. https://t.co/tVdmTSh34p pic.twitter.com/FZJvQpA7iU

In the post, Fred Piccolo tweeted a response to a photo gallery on COVID-19 victims and health care workers.
That tweet has since been deleted.
In the past, Piccolo has questioned the effectiveness of face mask mandates and has said that COVID-19 is less deadly than the flu.
