The White House posted 2,977 names on Friday. [1] This paper printed the list as Friday's. Saturday has no second roll. A recap is not a new memorial. Print 2,977 as Friday's. Do not print a new name count.
No Saturday addendum is in the White House stack, so 2,977 remains Friday's number and not a rewritten death toll.
Saturday recap that treats the roll as a new finding is a feed, not Friday's post.
No second name list is in Saturday's Washington copy.
This edition will not invent a 2,978th name to fill a quiet Saturday.
Friday already named the 2,977.
Saturday is not a second memorial roll.
Print 2,977 as Friday's number.
The roll remains Friday's named list.
