Anecdotes obviously don't validate data models, but I do wonder if my personal experience was common. My mother-in-law passed last summer, alone in her apartment. She was sick beforehand, quarantined, and living in a senior living community. When she was discovered the coroner did not come and investigate because it appears of natural causes, based on the observations of the local police officer. Her body was transported directly to the funeral home. I insisted they do a COVID-19 test, which the coroner did at the funeral home. The results came back as positive. Had I not pushed them to actually test, it would have been misreported and her death mis-attributed. It left me wondering if this was common and how many people may have passed in similar circumstances, without family pushing for testing.
