Boston Globe prints 16 pages of death notices in one day as coronavirus cases surge
By Brooke Seipel - 04/20/20 08:01 PM EDT

Sunday's print edition of the Boston Globe contained 16 pages of death notices, a somber reflection of the growing number of novel coronavirus cases and deaths.

That's more than double the number of pages with death notices as ran on the same Sunday in 2019, according to CBS News. The previous Sunday, the Globe ran 11 pages of the tributes.

The tributes that ran Sunday came from throughout Massachusetts as well as some form other states and countries. They included New Jersey, Texas, California, Italy, and Ireland among other places.


The Boston Globe accepts death notices from funeral homes or friends and family of those who have passed. It's unclear the exact number of deaths that were pandemic-related, though several did mention loved ones fighting coronavirus before their death.

I can practically guarantee that somewhere in the US,some baby is going to get that name at birth some time this year.

It will probably be misspelled,but it will be recognizable.
