About Those Obituary Excerpts of COVID Victims on the Front Page of

This Sunday morning, The New York Times has devoted their front page to the nearly 100,000 U.S. victims of COVID-19.

The text-only cover lists 1,000 names and excerpts from the obituaries of people who have succumbed to the dreaded virus.

The only problem with this lovely memorial is that at least one of the victims did not appear to have died from the coronavirus and his was only the sixth name on the list.

One of the names on the NYT's long list of Covid-19 victims was actually a murder victim.

Others were quick to point out that Haynes was only the sixth name on the list.

One replied, "He was one out of 5 under 30 on the list. Another in that group had a condition that doctors told him he would not live to 18. Did not test positive for COVID but still ruled a COVID death. That's 40% of the under 30 age bracket."

More people will look at the list and find a relative's name and tell the truth.
