It is “hard to compute the sorrow” of the number of people who have died from coronavirus, Boris Johnson has said, after the UK passed 100,000 deaths on Tuesday.
Speaking at a news conference the prime minister said when the pandemic was over the country would “commemorate the small acts of kindness, the spirit of volunteering and the daily sacrifice of millions".
Tuesday’s figures brought 1,631 additional reported deaths, according to official figures.
“I am deeply sorry for every life that has been lost and as prime minister I take full responsibility for everything the government has done,” the prime minister said, when asked about hopes at the start of the pandemic that the death toll could be kept within 20,000.

Indeed it is unfathomable and another example of why I can no longer go the the Wall that Heals as it still tears me apart. I will never visit the Holocaust Museum for the same reason. And I cannot process the sheer morbidity and mortality of this Virus. I have a published article on Research Gate which outlines the extreme stress of those clinicians in the ER and ICU. They are spent and grieve for all patients who die despite their very valiant efforts to keep them alive and recovering.
