Two members of my extended family recently passed away from "community acquired pneumonia" and complications from pneumonia, including sepsis and cardiac arrest

Two members of my extended family recently passed away from "community acquired pneumonia" and complications from pneumonia, including sepsis and cardiac arrest, within 1.5 weeks of each other in something of a hotspot. Neither as far as I know was declared covid, but it is suspicious to me. Regardless, I think there are some activities that are high risk and some that are low risk given the information we have on contact tracing at this point. Generally I do not think the response is too much in my location, and I'd rather there be a few additional restrictions, but it's an okay balance currently, given that Covid is already widespread here so a harder lockdown at this point may not be very effective. I'm not afraid, though I think of myself as pragmatically cautious.
