YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A massive new billboard called the Trump Death Clock has been unveiled in Times Square in New York City, which tallies the lives lost to U.S. government inaction during the COVID-19 crisis. The 56-foot sign was conceived by documentary filmmaker Eugene Jarecki. "It was just an effort on the part of myself and my team to quantify what we were learning from the epidemiologists," says Jarecki. "What we found was that there was an amazing and very dark truth underlying the numbers that spoke to reckless mishandling of a pandemic by the president and his team, and we felt that ought to be quantified."
