    mortality for pneumonia

    In case anyone doesn’t know where this stuff comes from: Think grandma breaking her leg getting into hospital lying in bed all the time and thereby contracting pneumonia. She had to stay that long because her bones don’t heal as they once did, and she contracted and died from pneumonia because her vascular and immune systems aren’t what they once were. Incredibly common cause of death among the elderly.
