The names of those who died of Covid-19 were posted on the front page of the New York Times on May 24 Photo: New York Times.

Many experts say that the number of deaths due to Covid-19 may be higher than stated, due to the number of deaths in the home or the death due to other reasons.

"We think there should be a way to list that number," Simone Landon, assistant editor of the newspaper's Graphic department, said in a behind-the-scenes reportage.

Landon said the project was also "a bit tired".

So the newspaper gathered the names and stories of Covid-19 victims from newspapers across the United States.

"The 1,000 people here reflect only 1% of the deaths," the listing description says.

The victims' names are divided into columns, reflecting both their life and death: 92-year-old Angeline Michalopulos, "was never afraid to sing or dance".

Covid-19 has appeared in more than 210 countries and territories with nearly 5.5 million people infected with nCoV, of which more than 346,000 died.

A study by Columbia University on 22/5 said that about 35,700 people could have been saved if the Americans separated the community a week earlier.

Dan Barry, a veteran writer of the New York Times, has written an essay in the newspaper "Human Damage" due to the pandemic to date.

"Imagine," he wrote.
