100,000: The Names Behind a Grim Toll

Your graphic depiction of the staggering loss of nearly 100,000 Americans to Covid-19 (so far) is moving beyond words.

But I fear that the common, if unconscious, tendency to focus on the death toll only in our country (when more than 340,000 people have died worldwide) suggests that we think the loss of an American life is more of a tragedy than the loss of a life elsewhere.

It has never been more important to rise above the constraints of nationalism and tribalism in order to affirm our common humanity.
