My grandfather died during the big run up of Covid. Most of my family will go on about him dying of Covid even if they are at least mostly otherwise sane. It's mostly women anyway they have to have a justification for everything emotionally.

The thing is, I saw him just weeks before he got sick and ended up in the hospital. He was not doing well. He died of old age with Covid being the last straw. As do most that die of old age. They don't just go "I'm old" and just shut off. They get sick of something and can't fight it.
