The newspaper will name 1,000 deaths, that is equal to 1 per cent of total casualties in the United States.&nbsp;

The New York Times assistant editor of the Graphics desk, Simone Landon came up with this way of paying homage, because she wanted to convey both the vastness and the variety of lives lost.

She said: "We knew we were approaching this milestone." 
&nbsp; 
"We knew that there should be some way to try to reckon with that number," she added.

She chose to name people than putting 100,000 dots because that will not tell anyone about who these people were and how valuable were they for the country.&nbsp;

According to Johns Hopkins University, the United States recorded 1,127 deaths in 24 hours from COVID-19 on Saturday, bringing its total to 97,048. The country has also crossed 1.5 million mark in terms of cases. The total number of confirmed cases stands at 1,621,658, &nbsp;according to the tracker kept by the Baltimore-based university showed at 8:30 pm (0030 GMT Sunday).

The New York Times pays homage by filling entire front page with names of coronavirus victims

China will hold a national mourning event on Saturday to commemorate those who died in its fight against the deadly coronavirus, including 14 frontline workers.

Starting at 10 am, all people nationwide will observe a three-minute silence and cars, trains and ships will sound their horns, alongside the wails of air raid sirens, said the State Council in a statement Friday.

The national flag will also be flown at half mast across the country and at embassies and consulates overseas.

China will suspend all public entertainment activities as well, as it mourns the lives lost in its virus battle.

On Thursday, China identified 14 people as "martyrs" of the epidemic, describing them as role models among frontline medics and epidemic prevention workers, reported the official Xinhua News Agency.

They include doctor Li Wenliang, who was reprimanded by police after sharing posts on social media to warn others of a SARS-like virus spreading in his city.

Li's eventual death from the virus in February prompted a national outpouring of grief and anger at the government's handling of the crisis -- on top of demands for freedom of speech.

Cases of the deadly pathogen were first reported in the central Chinese province of Hubei late last December, and the virus has since spread rapidly and claimed over 3,200 lives in China alone.

Although the number of new domestic infections have dwindled in recent days, with most cases now being imported ones, fears remain over a second wave of the outbreak.

To slow the spread of the virus, China imposed draconian controls on its population.

Starting late January, it put Hubei province's 56 million or so people under quarantine for two months, encouraging people across the country to stay home and avoid going out for months on end -- playing their part in what President Xi Jinping dubbed a "people's war".

Propaganda banners across the country, which typically extolled the virtues of Xi's thought on a socialist economy with Chinese characteristics, have also since been swapped out for those urging residents to wear masks, wash their hands, and avoid transmitting the virus.

The virus has since spread to numerous other countries, with the global death toll surpassing 50,000.
