I won’t be surprised. Forcing dysfunctional families to spend even more time together could be dangerous. Emotions run high. Since more and more people are not going to work, or school, no one will miss them, at least for a while.
Why haven’t we seen Larry in a while?
Well, for one thing it looks like larry’s last post was back in 2001.
There will be some re-alignment in the North Jersey garbage business.
Some people will die alone and not be found for awhile.
I was thinking about this as well. Not as morbidly as the OP WRT people living together getting killed. Altho, I agree the commercials being run on TV now show an unrealistic vision of modern, nuclear families all smiling and productive and well-adjusted to the situation happily spending quality time together - I am sure there is a lot of unreported violence and terror going on at this very moment, sadly, due to the Stay-at-Home orders.
I was thinking more along the lines of people living alone and dying that way. Not necessarily from COVID but from falls, strokes, heart attacks, pet attacks, some other illness, etc. No, I will not be surprised if dead people are found in their homes long after the Stay-at-Home orders are lifted. Whether those people are missed or not is another question depending on how wide their social circle is.
I was thinking about this the other day. I currently live alone, but reasonably close to several members of my family and very close to one set of parents. But we’re a quite friendly but never very close-knit bunch( “independent” I suppose - maybe just naturally anti-social 
). I can go weeks with no communication with any of them, sometimes a month or two depending on circumstances. My friends in the area likewise are all very much catch-as-catch can, no standing engagements.
If I stroked out on a work day I’d probably be found pretty quickly - my co-workers would be alarmed and have phone numbers for various family members. Maybe a few hours. But after I retire or if I went down during a time-off period( and right now I’m on paid administrative leave for pandemic management every other week )…well, it could be a week or more.
I’ve thought a lot about Andrea Yates. If you were already suffering psychotic delusions, extreme isolation and an actual plague seem like terrible, terrible stressors.
I live alone and my family lives several thousand miles away. We stay in touch by Facebook but rarely call one another.
In normal times, if I croaked at home, it could take up to two weeks to find me, since that’s how often my cleaning lady (who has a key) comes. But since we’re on lockdown, she can’t come, and wouldn’t start again until I called her. So now there’s no telling how long it would be for someone to check the apartment. I’m not even sure if the building management has a key.
Plus, with social distancing, nobody’s visiting Grandma to notice that her weekly pill box still has the last three days’ worth of pills untaken, or that the food in her fridge is starting to turn, or all of the other little things that you can’t notice over Zoom.
I think we’d miss you fairly quickly.

“It’s time for a rescue mission–to PANAMA!”
If you read anything about the 1918 flu epidemic, this was commonplace. Entire families would be discovered dead in the home. Or perhaps a family member died, but the others in the family were too ill to do anything. There were even stories about sick people crawling in bed next to a dead person, no other place to go, too sick to care.

Exactly 5 months ago, we could see some news from Wuhan and their then very harsh “stay at home” policy. It was cringy in retrospective and it is cringy know. I thought at that time, no way to tell how many skeletons they will found in their closet apartments in a couple of months. Or years. Aaaand looks like not only China’s problem anymore …
I know this is about the US, but I was reading an article saying that something like 20 million cell phones in China were disconnected during this outbreak. Now, lots of those, probably the majority were due to just normal stuff that is about people losing their jobs and having no money and no bail out from the government, but some of them are probably due to what you are talking about. There is also videos of local CCP officials having people welded into their apartments or homes. And I doubt this is just in China. I wonder how many people in North Korea have disappeared? Or other places.
It’s a bit chilling to think of it. In the US, yeah…I would say that there have got to be people who locked down and died and no one knows about it yet.
Perhaps you should take RioRico off suspension early, I’m sure he was just putting political jabs into GQ and QZ every couple of days as a wellness check on you.
With most North Koreans, by all accounts, suffering from malnutrition and other poverty- and oppression-related conditions that can damage the immune system, you just know their population is being decimated, no matter what the official party line says.
I have also seen plenty of PSAs about mental health and domestic violence hotlines, and also suicide prevention.
Hmm - in light of the OP, I suggest authorities check boarded up buildings! 
Not quite on point, but just this a.m. the Chicago Trib reported that the public schools had lost contact with a couple thousand students. Just highlights how thin the social safety net can be for the most vulnerable.
there was a person who died and was only found a few years later when the power company showed up to cut the power. The power bills were paid by automatic draft but the account ran out of money…
That pretty much redefines the phrase, “in a while”. LOL
