Something seems wrong here. They say they don't know if it is a virus or a bacteria. But you can't catch a bacterial infection from someone, only a virus can be transmitted. But viral pneumonia is almost impossible to treat, antibiotics only work against bacteria. So which is it? You can't catch a bacteria, so it is probably not bacterial pneumonia, yet they say treatments are ineffective...but are there any treatments for viral pneumonia? Strange.

In fact I believe TB is caused by a bacteria, and is highly contagious.

Whoever told you that you couldn't catch a bacteria was very mistaken.
