A billboard in New York Citys Times Square has begun showing a "Trump Death Clock" tallying coronavirus deaths that its creator says can be attributed to the president's inaction.
The digital counter was installed last week by filmmaker Eugene Jarecki, who said he wanted to make clear to the Americans the consequences of Donald Trumps policies.
The Trump Death Clock, which is also running on an accompanying website, uses an estimation that 60 per cent that American coronavirus deaths could have been avoided due to White House inaction in February.
Dr Anthony Fauci, the leading US infectious diseases expert, has admitted lives could have been saved if the government had intervened sooner to stem the outbreak. Some epidemiologists have estimated that 60 per cent of American deaths could have been avoided if the White House had acted just one week earlier.

(82,849 posts)1. For all the coverage of the anti-lockdown nitwit brigades
You'd think the major media outlets could spare some time for the Trump Death Clock.
