I walked by a monument to COVID health care workers on the Hudson River a few weeks ago and realized, "wow, a million people died and nobody even stopped to mourn it."
It was the first time I saw any monument to COVID deaths because we've politicized a million dead people. It's been 3+ years.
I wish we could have an international day of mourning for every life lost. An acknowledgement that we all suffer when anyone suffers and that we cannot be free when someone else is not, and that every life, regardless of whose, is precious. And worthy of our weeping.
