A $2.8 million memorial to COVID victims is being built in Jefferson Parish

Three years after Jefferson Parish began burying its COVID dead, it’s building a $2.8 million memorial to them.
In what could become a larger public park in Marrero, the monument is rising from a wide, treeless field in the 5800 block of West Bank Expressway, between a row of manufactured houses on one side and a ditch on the other.
quote:
The memorial, one of the few permanent ones of its kind in the world, is intended as a tribute to the 1,400 or more Jefferson victims of COVID-19. The exact number is not known.
quote:
When Lee first announced his intention for a permanent public memorial, he envisioned two: this one in Marrero and one in Kenner. The Kenner project is still possible but is now on the back burner.
quote:
Jefferson Parish has been collecting names for the memorial, and Lee said another solicitation will be made in the coming months.
He said Jefferson residents who died of COVID-19 are eligible to be named on the memorial. But he doesn’t know how, or whether, there will be a verification process. It might be a matter of trusting the person who submits the name.

The money is coming from the parish’s lease of West Jefferson Medical Center to LCMC Health, which took over management of the publicly owned hospital in 2015. Lease revenue by law must be used for health care projects.

You realize that this distinction doesn't matter much right?

How can they memorialize something that was a psy op

The statue should be carrying a case of TP out of a Walmart, with mask worn under the chin.

Freaking stupid. No one can waste money better than the United States and in the USA no one is better than Louisiana.

You serious? Someone killed in a car crash that tested positive for COVID versus someone who died in the hospital from respiratory failure secondary to COVID infection are the same to you?
If you don't realize by now how they were pumping up numbers to get funding, I don't know what to tell you.

What a fricking joke

Imagine being such an idiot that you think this is a good idea.

They should anonymize it by only listing their age and BMI

Solid hood location, where it's sure to be vandalized early and often.
