Yesterday, the official death toll from the coronavirus pandemic across Europe surpassed 800,000.

Death on this scale is so massive a blow to society that it is difficult to comprehend. It is as if the cities of Frankfurt (753,056) or Amsterdam (821,752) had been wiped off the map. The loss of life has surpassed the total casualties at the battle of Verdun in World War I, or the number of soldiers killed in the gigantic 1941 battle of Moscow during the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union.
