It was awful. I remember sitting in the state EOC when they were predicting 100,000 deaths by the summer and thinking how horrendous that would be... now that's just a drop in the bucket! And no national memorial to speak of... @markedbycovid.bsky.social is doing such important work.

A quote displayed on a sign erected on a small green. The text reads: THE NATIONAL COVID MEMORIAL WALL "We couldn't hug our consolations in times of great sadness, but We could be together here - loved ones and strangers - enduring loss, finding hope, remembering and grieving. We are more than statistics, we are the lives, words and hearts on this wall."
What the wall means to people... ❤️
Th memorial wall painted hearts looking very red beneath a canopy of green leaves, seen across a wide expanse of the Thames.
Love this picture of the memorial wall taken from Westminster Bridge. ❤️ #Wednesday
As the co-founder of @markedbycovid.bsky.social, I've dedicated my work to establishing a National Covid Memorial and preserving the truth of what's happening during this ongoing public health crisis that took my father and continues to claim American lives.
