This is a series of names where they are from, folks who have passed away or died from the coronavirus, and they have published 1000 of these names, just 1 with biographies or Something Special about those people. They write that the numbers alone cannot possibly measure the impact of the coronavirus on america, whether it is the number of patients treated, jobs interrupted or lives cut short. As the country nears a grim milestone, the times scoured obituaries and death notices of the victims, the 1000 people reflect just 1 of the total, they were not simply names on
