As the Covid-19 death toll nears 100,000 victims in the United States, The New York Times<\/a> listed 1,000 people\u2019s names on its front page in May 24 edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newspaper\u2019s first two pages display a sprawling list of obituaries that represent only 1% of the nearly 100,000 deaths. The entries list victims\u2019 names, ages, where they were from and sometimes their job, a hobby they enjoyed or a fact about them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNumbers alone cannot possibly measure the impact of the coronavirus on America, whether it is the numbers of patients treated, jobs interrupted or lives cut short. As the country nears a grim milestone of 100,000 deaths attributed to the virus, The New York Times scoured obituaries and death notices of the victims. The 1,000 people here reflect just 1 percent of of the toll. None were mere numbers,\u201d the front page read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An interactive feature<\/a> online allows viewers to scroll through the list chronologically, starting in mid March, and see the names and uptick in deaths. The nearly 100,000 deaths in three months represents an average of more than 1,100 deaths per day in the U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
