AB - This year, for the first time, World Pneumonia Day will be held during a global pneumonia pandemic. By November 12, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is expected to cause 1.3 million deaths and by December 31, 1.9 million deaths.If these deaths are counted as lower respiratory infection (pneumonia) by the Global Burden of Disease, SARS-CoV-2 could increase pneumonia mortality rates by &gt;70% in 2020, bringing the annual death toll to 4.5 million. No other infection causes this burden of death.
