Pneumonia deaths spiked this year...and not by a little.

[Amun Ra]

In the last 10 years, Pneumonia has killed between 13.5 to 15.9 people per 100k population on any given year. This year as of August 29th (still 4 months to go) it's killed 54 people per 100k people which is higher than any record back to the 1950s.

Influenza though has killed the least amount of people on record. Only 6k.

Something funky is going on with these statistics. People don't just suddenly stop dying of the flu or suddenly start dying of pneumonia. The funny thing is, they're not listing it as covid related pneumonia. The covid related pneumonia is less than half the pnumonia deaths so even if covid didn't exist and they're counting pneumonia and covid pneumonia as pneumonia deaths it's still way more than double previous years. Something fucky is going on.

There are about +30 different types of pneumonia caused by fungi, bacteria and environment. Covid Pneumonia is deadly too like the others.

Regardless to the type...a person typically has a good outcome (they survive) except for those when it develops into sepsis pneumonia (in your blood...attacking all your organ causing failure)...survival is very low for pneumonia that goes septic.

The pneumonia statics and covid-19 pneumonia stats have been sketchy this year.

yes, Covid pneumonia numbers have indeed been downplayed for political reasons.
