March is a time to mark how we shrugged off mass preventable death & disability to avoid discomfort or disrupting capitalist consumption. @markedbycovid.bsky.social organizes US COVID Memorial Day the 1st Monday of March. I cherish the collective witness & vigil: www.youtube.com/watch?v=54C5...

We were the only survivor organization quoted in this week's @washingtonpost.com piece on what's become clouded about Covid. History is being written now. We're making sure our loved ones are in it. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

Four truths about covid that have become clouded over time
In the early days, the virus posed a graver threat to people and the health care system, Trump embraced lockdowns he now blasts, and the benefits of vaccines were oversold.

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.

What the wall means to people... ❤️
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."

Never stopped masking for many of the reasons named in this piece. My determination was reinforced by @markedbycovid.bsky.social's COVID Memorial Day Vigil tonight: listening to the bereaved reading the names of lost loved ones, from 2020 to very recent. Masks are the least we owe each other.
