Alaska COVID-19 Count Memorial Day Monday May 25, 2020 - One New Case

It's Memorial Day 2020.  As I write this Worldometer reports that 99,684 have died in the US from Coronavirus.  (The exact number is impossible to know, of course, since reporting is not always accurate or up-to-date.  Plus medical experts believe there are many other deaths that are COVID related, but counted as something else.)

Will we have a COVID Memorial Day in the future?  Or do we reserve such days to glorify those who are sent off to kill people overseas?  Or people killed by terrorists as in 9/11?  Soldiers are the most sacred heroes in the United States (and in many other countries.)  They have great monuments and cemeteries and two national holidays.  No other 'occupation' is honored in such a massive way.  Soldiers who committed war crimes while in service, or physically abuse their families, or commit crimes, or take guns but not masks to COVID protests,  are at best still heroes and at worst 'the exceptions' that we excuse for their service.  If they're white.

But this glorification of war is no accident.  It's the way that militarists and the arms industry are able to keep a supply of bodies to send to war.  Soon, though, war may be automated and fewer and fewer actual bodies will need to be used.

We don't have a memorial day for those who died in the pandemic of 1928-19.  If we did, perhaps we'd have been better prepared for this pandemic.  If we had another president we would have been better prepared.  Here's Time Magazine's chart of COVID deaths compared to other deaths.

  1. Or do we reserve such days to glorify those who are sent off to kill people overseas?
    The United Nations General Assembly designated January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. I would wager that some people are very thankful for those who went overseas rather than disparage them. My dad was one of those people and I am dam proud of him.

  2. Oliver, I probably shouldn't have tried to write an abbreviated response to what I see as the adulation of veterans in a post on COVID-19 count for Alaska. Your response is the normal response to any questioning of the status of Veterans and soldiers who died in war. I started addressing your concerns here, but decided it deserved a post of its own. It should be up any day now and I'll add another comment with a link to it when I get it up. Thanks.
