The Covid Memorial Project is a remembrance of all the lives lost to the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States as we cross the stunning threshold of 200,000 deaths.
It will install 20,000 American flags this week on the National Mall on the grounds of the Washington Monument, facing the White House to represent & memorialize each of these lives, while serving to recognize two hard facts:
This extreme loss of life is staggering -- but was not inevitable: the President's poor handling of the virus response has led to tens of thousands of excess deaths.
And this administration has done nothing to memorialize this stunning number of lives lost -- instead choosing to downplay, minimize, and ignore whenever possible. No flags lowered, no service held, no day of mourning declared -- so the COVID Memorial Project seeks to simply say: these lives are more than a statistic -- they were family, friends, neighbors.
