He didn't even know she was being tested because it was initially ruled as natural causes. I started looking into how all these different counties, states, and countries categorized whether someone died from COVID or not and discovered how big of a joke the system is as there is no agreed upon standard as to how to classify and report it.
capitalism has utterly hollowed out the institutions that our social systems and lives depend on. experts are extinct, replaced by bureaucrats with doctorates whose principal objectives are funding and citations. the average paper has a citation half-life of less than two years. our leaders have failed us. chaos reigns.
