Leading American daily Boston Globe published 15 pages of obituary in its Sunday edition, as Massachusetts reels under Covid-19 crisis.
Massachusetts has had more than 38,000 cases of the virus and more than 1,700 deaths. Boston officials said the Dorchester neighbourhood alone has had more than 1,270 cases.
Republican Governor Charlie Baker appeared Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” and said the state is “right in the middle of the surge now”.
Many users on Twitter said they have never seen obituary listings taking up almost an entire page. Others were reminded of similar scenes from Italy, one of the hardest hit by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The Boston Globe had 15 pages of obituaries today. Let that sink in,” tweeted a user Edward Hardy.
