Covid Memorial

A thread about Trumps culpability in massive Covid deaths and genocide due to his negligence and incompetence got me thinking. Should we not begin talking about establishing a memorial for the 500,000+ victims of Covid in America?. The number is such an abstraction and hard to grasp. It needs a physical memorial at some point.

I think the history books will show how Trump is largely responsible for those deaths. His incompetance and negligence are responsible for a great number of deaths. A greater number than both World Wars combined. I think that we should have a tangible physical memorial to all of those that died. At some point we might need a memorial commission to look back at the Pandemic deaths and understand the causes and place it in an historical context. Including Trumps genocidal failure. What do you think?

all without them. Lock. Them. All. Up.

And I think a memorial is a wonderful idea. We could have one permanent one and
several touring ones. Let's do it!
