New York (AFP) - A newly erected billboard in New York's Times Square shows the number of US coronavirus deaths that its creator says could have been avoided if President Donald Trump had acted sooner -- and it's called the "Trump Death Clock."
Created by filmmaker Eugene Jarecki, the "clock" was installed on the roof of a Times Square building, empty due to the pandemic. As of Monday, the counter showed more than 48,000 deaths out of a total of more than 80,000, by far the highest tally in the world.
The "clock" ticks on the assumption that 60 percent of COVID-19 deaths in the United States could have been prevented had the Trump administration implemented mandatory social distancing and school closures just a week earlier than it did, on March 9 instead of March 16, Jarecki explained in a post on Medium.
The New York-based filmmaker, who has twice won awards at the Sundance Film Festival, explained that 60 percent was a conservative estimate calculated by specialists following remarks made in mid-April by leading US infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci.
"The lives already unnecessarily lost demand we seek more responsible crisis leadership," Jarecki wrote in his Medium post.
"Just as the names of fallen soldiers are etched on memorials to remind us of the cost of war, quantifying the lives lost to the president's delayed coronavirus response would serve a vital public function."

I agree that Cuomo has been responsible for thousands of deaths of seniors, but after his origami statistics presentation, it's obvious that he has no idea how many, and the reporting is so botched that the total may never be known. Democrats seem to have a serious problem with arithmetic.
There should be a "Lives Saved by Donald Trump" clock, starting with the 2.2 million that were estimated to die at the start of this. At this point he's saved about 2.1 million lives!
Good point.
I guess Italy’s Hug A Chinese Person event or DeBlasio’s and Cuomo’s encouraging of people to celebrate the Chinese New Year do not figure into this person’s thinking terribly much.
Along side the ANDREW CUOMO NURSING HOME DEATH CLOCK, yeah right! People of the city hopelessly steeped in steaming piles of dog sh##. They might as well post a picture of cuomo, their dear leader in each home to cry to like they do in North Korea
I could really buy in on this...if they could break it down into two dynamic numbers with dynamic bar graphs...
One shows Democrat deaths, one shows Republican deaths.
If the Democrat side isn’t growing fast enough, it could publicly highlight the need for policy changes to produce that effect.
The cazzo gets to save money on NY Medicaid if the elderly croak.
Times Square is now a ghost town, so no one will be viewing this abomination.
These are Communists working to bring on the new Utopia where they are on top and the masses have equal outcomes: Poverty with a capital P for piss. The timeline in this fiasco reveals China. CCP China. Fellow Communists. Communist from which to shift the blame.
The timeline during the biggest fraudulent impeachment coup attempt in history:
December 6: A man linked to the Wuhan wildlife market experiences pneumonia-like symptoms. Five days later his wife, who had no direct connection to the market, also experienced similar symptoms, which would suggest a human-to-human spread, according to the Lancet — a peer-reviewed medical journal.
Dec. 10: Wei Guixian, one of the earliest known coronavirus patients, starts feeling ill.
Dec. 16: Patient admitted to Wuhan Central Hospital with infection in both lungs but resistant to anti-flu drugs. Staff later learned he worked at a wildlife market connected to the outbreak.
December 27: Zhang Jixian, a doctor from Hubei Provincial Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, told health authorities that the novel disease that was then affecting some 180 patients, was caused by a new coronavirus, the South China Morning Post reported.
Dec. 30:
• Ai Fen, a top director at Wuhan Central Hospital, posts information on WeChat about the new virus. She was reprimanded for doing so and told not to spread information about it.
• Wuhan doctor Li Wenliang also shares information on WeChat about the new SARS-like virus. He is called in for questioning shortly afterward.
• Wuhan health commission notifies hospitals of a “pneumonia of unclear cause” and orders them to report any related information.
Dec. 31:
• Wuhan health officials confirm 27 cases of illness and close a market they think is related to the virus’ spread.
• China tells the World Health Organization’s China office about the cases of an unknown illness.
Jan. 1: Wuhan Public Security Bureau brings in for questioning eight doctors who had posted information about the illness on WeChat.
• An official at the Hubei Provincial Health Commission orders labs, which had already determined that the novel virus was similar to SARS, to stop testing samples and to destroy existing samples.
Jan. 2: Chinese researchers map the new coronavirus’ complete genetic information. This information is not made public until Jan. 9.
Jan. 7: Xi Jinping becomes involved in the response.
Jan. 9: China announces it has mapped the coronavirus genome.
Jan. 11–17: Important prescheduled CCP meeting held in Wuhan. During that time, the Wuhan Health Commission insists there are no new cases.
Jan. 13: First coronavirus case reported in Thailand, the first known case outside China.
Jan. 14: WHO announces Chinese authorities have seen “no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus.”
Jan. 15: The patient who becomes the first confirmed U.S. case leaves Wuhan and arrives in the U.S., carrying the coronavirus.
Jan. 18:
• The Wuhan Health Commission announces four new cases.
• Annual Wuhan Lunar New Year banquet. Tens of thousands of people gathered for a potluck.
Jan. 19: Beijing sends epidemiologists to Wuhan.
Jan. 20:
• The first case announced in South Korea.
• Zhong Nanshan, a top Chinese doctor who is helping to coordinate the coronavirus response, announces the virus can be passed between people.
Jan. 21:
• The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirms the first coronavirus case in the United States.
• CCP flagship newspaper People’s Daily mentions the coronavirus epidemic and Xi’s actions to fight it for the first time.
• China’s top political commission in charge of law and order warns that “anyone who deliberately delays and hides the reporting of [virus] cases out of his or her own self-interest will be nailed on the pillar of shame for eternity.”
Jan. 23: Wuhan and three other cities are put on lockdown. Right around this time, approximately 5 million people leave the city without being screened for the illness.
Jan. 24–30: China celebrates the Lunar New Year holiday. Hundreds of millions of people are in transit around the country as they visit relatives.
Jan. 24: China extends the lockdown to cover 36 million people and starts to rapidly build a new hospital in Wuhan. From this point, very strict measures continue to be implemented around the country for the rest of the epidemic.
The bottom line: China is now trying to create a narrative that it’s an example of how to handle this crisis when in fact its early actions led to the virus spreading around the globe.
There is an increasing belief that the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) originated in a lab in Wuhan, China — not as a bioweapon — but as part of Beijing’s effort to identify and treat viruses to enhance its own international prestige, according to sources.
Multiple sources tell Fox News that it is believed standards in Wuhan were disregarded before the virus leaked, and then Beijing began its coverup.
Patient Zero, Huang Yanling, is believed to have worked in some capacity in the laboratory and it is believed that the virus was transmitted from bat to Yanling. COVID-19 is considered to be a newly discovered coronavirus.
When early efforts of containment failed, journalists and doctors who spoke out against the threat were disappeared, these sources said. It is unknown if Huang Yanling is alive.
Sources also say the World Health Organization (WHO) was complicit from the beginning, to help China cover its tracks. The WHO and China have denied any wrongdoing.
Sources emphasized - as is often the case with intelligence- it’s not definitive and should not be characterized as such.
Here is a timeline showing China’s attempt to conceal its botched handling of the virus, according to the sources.
What all Sources agree about is the extensive cover-up of data and information about COVID-19 launched by the Chinese government.
December 31: The Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto discovered that Chinese authorities began censoring certain internet terms from social media, such as: Wuhan Unknown Pneumonia, SARS Variation, Wuhan Seafood Market, and other keywords that condemned the government’s handling of the outbreak.
January 1:
CNN featured a story about Dr. Li Wenliang, who was one of eight doctors in Wuhan warning about the spread of the virus on social media in late December. He not only ended up contracting COVID-19 but was labeled a “rumor-mongerer” by Wuhan police, after being detained for making false statements.
He was also forced to write a self-criticism saying his warnings “had a negative impact,” according to the Wall Street Journal.
January 3: China’s top health officials at the National Health Commission follow the Hubei Health Commission and issue a gag order directing that Wuhan pneumonia samples be moved to testing facilities, or destroyed.
The National Health Commission also orders institutions not to publish any scientific information related to the virus, Caixin Global reported.
WHO HAUNTED BY JANUARY TWEET SAYING CHINA FOUND NO HUMAN TRANSMISSION OF CORONAVIRUS
January 5: WHO releases a statement characterizing China’s initial Dec. 31 notice about “pneumonia of unknown etiology.”
The agency wrote: “Based on the preliminary information from the Chinese investigation team, no evidence of significant human-to-human transmission and no health care worker infections have been reported.”
January 6: U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) offers Beijing technical expertise to help with the virus. Beijing ignores the offer for over a month, along with additional offers of assistance from Heath and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar and other senior U.S. officials, according to The New York Times.
January 14: The chief of the WHO’s emerging diseases unit reports that “it is possible that there is limited human-to-human transmission, potentially among families, but it is very clear right now that we have no sustained human-to-human transmission,” Reuters reported.
The WHO also sent out a tweet claiming that Chinese authorities had conducted a preliminary investigation that found no evidence of human-to-human transmission of the coronavirus. The Jan. 14 tweet came less than two months before WHO declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic.
January 21: One week later, a WHO delegation concludes a two-day field visit to Wuhan, and notes that “Data collected through detailed epidemiological investigation and through the deployment of the new test kit nationally suggests that human-to-human transmission is taking place in Wuhan.”
January 23: Chinese authorities lock down Wuhan, after letting some five million people leave the city without any medical screening in the weeks prior, The Wall Street Journal reported.
January 29: The White House announced the formation of the Coronavirus Task Force to help monitor and contain the spread of the virus and provide updates to the President.
January 31:The Trump Administration declared the coronavirus a public health emergency and announced Chinese travel restrictions: Suspended entry into the United States for foreign nationals who pose a risk of transmitting the coronavirus.
February 5: The President’s State of the Union address stated the administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard the citizens from the coronavirus threat.
February 6: According to the South China Morning Post, China’s internet watchdog had tightened control over social media platforms, following President Xi Jinping’s directive. Citizen journalist and former rights lawyer Chen Qiushi disappears in Wuhan after posting mobile-phone videos of packed hospitals and distraught families, according to the New York Times.
February 19: Beijing’s relationship with the American media worsens when three Wall Street Journal reporters had their press credentials revoked. The reporters covered the outbreak in Wuhan, according to the Journal.
February 26: Li Zehua, a citizen journalist who had worked at CCTV, is detained, according to the Guardian newspaper. He records the encounter.
March 11: Researchers from the University of Southampton, in the United Kingdom, said that if Beijing responded earlier to the outbreak there would have been significantly fewer cases. The researchers said if Beijing responded three weeks sooner, 95 percent of its cases could have been avoided.
March 27: Bloomberg reported that thousands of urns were found at funeral homes in Wuhan, which sparked even further doubt that Beijing was providing accurate data on its death toll. Radio Free Asia reported that 40,000 may have died there compared to reports at the time of 3,200 in the entire country.
Someone else build a bigger “clock” showing the lives POTUS saved by comparing actual deaths to those projected at the first which was more than a million.
The blame game has begun. From now on, it will be 24/7 blame Donald Trump for the deaths. It has barely begun.
Evil. There is no other word for it.

Add: desperate.
School being closed a week earlier would have had the smallest impact on the spread of the virus. Many schools were already closed the first or second week in March. Recently there have been studies indicating children were not getting the virus and those that did were not passing it on to adults.
My first thought... Of course, most of the media is covering this up.

On March 3, Bill Diblasio told people to take in a movie. SanFranNan was telling people to get out and go to China Town.
What’s the death toll of China blocking all internal travel from Wuhan, but allowing outbound international flights?
What’s the death toll of China hiding the fact that the virus WAS communicable between humans and the time China and WHO reversing their lies that the China virus wasn’t communicable between humans?
Politicizing a pandemic, while covering for the real villain of the pandemic, the originator, China. The depths of the left’s greed for power and their hatred for America, President Trump and all those who voted for him have no bounds.
Mark
Don’t confuse them with the facts...

I’m loving every minute of it. Watching their faces in panic mode is delightful.
