                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
 Honoring the 1,000,000 individuals who have died from COVID-19 in the 
                             United States.

Whereas, on May 12, 2022, the United States reached 1,000,000 confirmed lives 
        lost due to COVID-19;
Whereas the first laboratory-confirmed case of COVID-19 in the United States was 
        recorded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on January 
        20, 2020;
Whereas the first known death from COVID-19 in the United States occurred in 
        February 2020;
Whereas, in the months following the first recorded death, the COVID-19 pandemic 
        has impacted individuals, families, and communities across the United 
        States;
Whereas estimates report that the death toll from COVID-19 has increased the 
        number of orphans in the United States by nearly 200,000 children;
Whereas scientific breakthroughs have been effective at reducing the COVID-19 
        death toll; and
Whereas it is recognized that mitigation efforts can reduce the number of deaths 
        due to COVID-19 and save lives: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That Congress--
            (1) recognizes and mourns the 1,000,000 known lives lost in 
        the United States due to COVID-19; and
            (2) honors the memory of the deceased and offers 
        condolences to their families and loved ones.
                                 <all>
