My rant for today. Art sculptures by a guy named Michael and a deadly virus.

There's an interesting character by the name of Michael Alfano who posts stories on a website by the same name.  The stories are short and revolve around the world of art and unique sculptures located at various locations; some of which I am very familiar for having lived there at or traveled through during my lifetime.  Some stories I find a bit odd because their controversial nature.  I say odd because who in their right mind would request an honoriam for a deadly virus that almost destroyed the entire country...or should I say, "world".  

"Michael was invited by the Boston Globe to submit a design proposal for a COVID memorial as part of the paper’s series of articles marking the pandemic as the US death toll reached one million."  My immediate response was, "How sick is that?"  But Boston has been on the decline for several years so the Globe has no immunity and the death toll is reflected in its obituaries.  The virus did not spare Boston so why honor it with a sunflower.  Would not the Corpse flower be more appropriate? -
