LOS ANGELES -- The deaths from COVID-19 in the United States will soon surpass 1 million, and those deaths have been unexpected, untimely, painful, and in many cases, preventable, said an article published by The Atlantic.

Millions of Americans are still mourning loved ones lost to COVID-19, their grief intensified, prolonged, and even denied by the politics of the pandemic, said the article published on Wednesday.

The number of people who have died of COVID-19 in the United States has always been undercounted because such counts rely on often-inaccurate death certificates, said the article.

In just two years, COVID-19 has become the third most common cause of death in the United States, which means it is also the third leading cause of grief in the country, said the article.

Each American who has died of COVID-19 has left an average of nine close relatives bereaved, creating a community of grievers larger than the population of all but 11 states, according to the article.
