Edit protection removal request

I would request a removal of edit protection in order to correct the links on pertussis, varicella, and measles to link to their actual pages, not the pages for their vaccines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.4.24.34 (talk) 16:34, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Proportions don't add up.

The proportion of cases in the Bacteria and Virus sections are inconsistent and/or dont't add up. Together, they amount to more than 100%. It appears that the proportions recited in the Bacteria section are the proportions of bacterial-pneumonia cases, whereas the proportions in the Virus section are the proportions of total pneumonia cases. The breakdown by adult and children in the Virus section, without a percent value for total virus cases, adds to the confusion. Could someone clarify? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:9000:AC08:A600:94B7:3C9C:9A:315F (talk) 23:45, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Links about Coronavirus as cause

at link 11 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21435708/

It says that infections comes together bacterial and viral. But on virus infection, it gives feel like, viruses can cause pneumonia.

"Dual viral infections are common, and a third of children have evidence of viral-bacterial co-infection. In adults, viruses are the putative causative agents in a third of cases of community-acquired pneumonia, in particular influenza viruses, rhinoviruses, and coronaviruses. Bacteria continue to have a predominant role in adults with pneumonia."

On page, there are no clear understanding of a thing. The last sentence says, the bacterial infections are dominant.

Nowdays, because of "corona pandemic" maybe not. I tend not to believe for governments, because of lack pictures of the virus in public domain. Today EM microscopes can easily make resolution of 0.1 nm, what about some virus that 100 nm?

It should be checked twice links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:A040:198:313F:9495:E07C:68C3:D47D (talk) 02:14, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking, but bacteria are the most common cause of Pneumonia in general. In infants and toddlers, RSV is generally the most common cause. The link you provided isn't contradicting itself. Dual infections often happen with viral infections leading to a bacterial infection as well. I'm not sure if that is what you are confused about?
