Abstract
In May 2020, the United States was approaching 100,000 deaths due to COVID-19. As the number of deaths neared the milestone in the global pandemic, U.S. news agencies began to address the significance of this number. Included in the reporting was discussion of an apparent lack of reaction from the general population, as reflected in the Los Angeles Times headline that proclaimed, "Little Sense of Shared Grief as Coronavirus Deaths near 100,000." Eight months later, by January 2021, coronavirus deaths exceeded 360,000.
