“The 1000 people on this page represent 1% of the balance sheet. They were ours,” wrote the daily on its front page while the United States will cross the 100,000 deaths of the COVVI-19.

Each square centimeter usually reserved for letters of the articles and their illustration is occupied there by the names of 1000 victims of the coronavirus on American soil.
“The figures alone cannot quantify the impact of the coronavirus on America. Whether the number of treated patients, lost jobs, the lives arriving prematurely”, writes the daily, quoted by several global press agencies.
