Suppose a person is your average overweight middle aged sedentary American and they die of a stroke and happen to test positive for the virus.
There's a pretty good chance they died of COVID-19-associated immune thrombocytopenia, even though they may not have been symptomatic when they died.
A lot of those cardiac events are going to go uncounted if a country isn't testing for the virus, or isn't attributing CVAs to the virus when the person didn't really have any respiratory complications / pneumonia.
