Didn't realize that - that is also a good explanation for why Germany has less deaths per million in published numbers: they just aren't testing everyone that dies.


It's not completely impossible, but it's considered unlikely; people are sometimes tested post mortem (it's simply not a general policy), and people are usually tested before it gets that far.
