A concurrent resolution honoring the 1,000,000 individuals who have died from COVID-19 in the United States.
This concurrent resolution (SCONRES 39) is a symbolic congressional gesture commemorating the 1,000,000 Americans who died from COVID-19 in the United States. It formally recognizes and mourns this death toll, which was reached on May 12, 2022, and honors the memory of the deceased while offering condolences to their families.
