Pneumonia is NOT a 100% death sentence.

[Handbanana]

So fun fact. You can in fact get better from Pneumonia on your own without the use of antibiotics. Not sure what universe this is where it 100% incapacitates you and leads to a 100% mortality rate but this needs to be changed. It is beyond idiotic.

perhaps is an alien type of pneumonia wich could be lethal for humans who knows! lol

alien world = different diseases Flu/rsv/or sars type infection would have a different possibly stronger variant, initial infections would likely hit harder and cuase your immune system to go into a hyperdrive attacking your cell walls causing severe pneumonia and such death rates would probably be similar to those with weak immunity or none such as the case of children.

I know its kind of a cop out but its recorded in our own history of europeans visiting tribes who had never had contact. in some cases wiping them out completely smallpox, measles or flu was a killer to them.

also its how we won war of the worlds remember? :)

so yeh, i think a disease from those huge animals wandering about may be a huge issue to new lifeforms.

You do know there is a perk you can earn that is pneumonia immunity by surviving pneumonia without meds....

That is just what you get after you cure them with antibiotics and it only lasts for a few months. They will catch it again the next winter.

No he is correct, I also had people in the game survive pneumonia without any antibiotics and they developed temporary immunity against pneumonia. So OP is incorrect, it is not a 100% death sentence even without antibiotics people can survive and develop immunity.

So fun fact.. it actually is.

Pneumonia is caused by having a "good" immune system, it is your lungs fighting off infection and it can easily kill you.

This is why is kills older people more than younger, because we have a more developed immune system.. it overwhelms and kills unless treated asap with antibiotics.

This is why covid is so deadly, it isn't the flu that is dangerous, it is our defence systems that actually kill us.

I know from personal experience how horrible this can get. I had covid pneumonia for 4 months. Worse is when you develop blod clots in your lungs as a result of thickening blood caused by getting ill, again, your body is what actually causes this.

We need bigger wider veins and arteries.. but if we had that we'd all have low blood pressure and that's probably worse.. :D

Yes everyone can survive, always have hope. However it is also a serious illness not to be laughed at. And it leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.

necropost, i know, but you its not a certain death. i have had it before and came back, while also effected by covid at the same time. was a strain on me, but it happens.
people can come back from the imposable. cancer can just vanish at times, aids be conquered by the body's immune system, all kinds of things. its person to person realy

The reason for healing themselves might be actually that you provided them with proper clothing according to the outside temps at that time, keep them bareass and see what's happening :P.
