I interpreted it to mean that any virus that results in pneumonia for seniors is a problem. This specific virus is no different. Pneumonia is a concern. So, just as with the flu complications can result ,
I think this is what level headed health professionals have been trying to say for some time now.
Which raises a question......
What about the pneumonia vaccines? I know they won't prevent the virus, but would they have any affect on the possibility of developing pneumonia?
I have had both pneumonia vaccines but I also realize that it's no guarantee of anything.
I'm also guessing that the pneumonia that comes with this is viral pneumonia, not bacterial and I think the vaccines protect from the bacterial strains.
