    As the US passes another milestone in its loss of life to the pandemic, for some it will be a moment to reflect on how so many lives have been impacted.

    Here we have collected images from the months since the US reported its first officially known case.

    While the actual first US case will never be known, the first acknowledged diagnosis linked to the virus was a 35-year-old man who lived north of Seattle and had returned from a trip to Wuhan, China, on 20 January; a day later President Trump tells CNBC: “It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control.”

    In late January the White House creates a taskforce, and, we know now from Bob Woodward’s upcoming book, President Trump knew by at least 7 February that Covid-19 was a serious threat, even as he played down the risks in public.
