The first tragedy of America's bleak coronavirus milestone is that 100,000 people didn't have to die. The second is that no one knows how many more will perish before the pandemic fades. | Analysis by StCollinson

They can't even be mourned owing to social distancing — one of Covid-19's cruelest impositions.
