NYT praised for ‘jaw-dropping’ front page honoring coronavirus fatalities: ‘A visceral gut punch’

After revealing that Sunday’s New York Times would not feature an image on the front page, but would instead list the names of COVID-19 fatalities, the newspaper was praised online.

“U.S. deaths near 100,000, an incalculable loss,” the headline read above six columns of names.

“They were not simply names on a list. They were us,” reads the subhead.

I thought the screenshot/photo of the A1 of the NYT was from the Spanish flu outbreak of the 1920s. It’s tomorrow’s front-page. Our president is golfing right now.
