Various groups affected by the global coronavirus pandemic gather to plant trees on Apr 30, 2021, at Ohio's dedication of a new COVID-19 Pandemic Memorial Grove at Great Seal State Park near Chillicothe, Ohio. CHILLICOTHE, Ohio: Ohio has planted a memorial grove of native trees to remember people who died of COVID-19, and governors and state lawmakers nationwide are considering their own ways to mark the toll of the virus.
“We remember not just the victims, but we end up remembering kind of the US administration’s indifference or even neglect, malignant neglect, of the disease itself, much less the victims,” he said.
“Maybe someone will come here and will talk about their grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother who went through the pandemic,” DeWine said at the event. “Maybe someone in their family died, maybe someone in their family was a nurse or doctor, someone who was there to make a difference for others. We should not forget the sacrifices that have been made.”
“I think DeWine did see himself as a kind of a pater familias trying to take care of everybody, and Cuomo did see himself or portray himself as a general going to war against the virus,” Young said. As such details are worked out, some smaller permanent memorials - a statue to sanitation workers in New York, wall murals in Detroit and a churchyard sculpture in Dover, Delaware, for instance - are already in place.Kristin Urquiza, co-founder and co-executive director of the Marked by COVID-19 organisation, said she is laying the groundwork for a push later this year for a permanent national memorial.
US Representative Adriano Espaillat, a New York Democrat, also has reintroduced the bill that would begin a national COVID-19 memorial process.
