The front page of the New York Times paper this Sunday will list the names of 1,000 people who have died of COVID-19.
The Times revealed the layout Saturday afternoon as the death toll in the U.S. inches toward 100,000 — the highest number of coronavirus casualties in the world.
The newspaper’s tribute to those who have died during the pandemic is a grim reminder of the toll it has taken on American society. And it’s not yet over.
“Numbers alone cannot possibly measure the impact of the coronavirus in America, whether it is the number 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 sourced obituaries and death notices of the victims,” the newspaper wrote in a preface.
