SARS

SARS "Commonly" causes pneumonia? What the hell? I bet any of the viruses described as "rarely [causing] pneumonia" all cause it more often than SARS. Edited. Mordac (talk) 09:52, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Go shouting elswhere!

Symptoms of SARS. In general, SARS begins with a high fever (temperature greater than 100.4°F [>38.0°C]). Other symptoms may include headache, an overall feeling of discomfort, and body aches. Some people also have mild respiratory symptoms at the outset. About 10 percent to 20 percent of patients have diarrhea. After 2 to 7 days, SARS patients may develop a dry cough. Most patients develop pneumonia. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/sars/factsheet.htm

I'm not shouting. There haven't been any cases of SARS in humans since 2003, so SARS isn't a common cause of pneumponia, even if it causes pneumonia in 100% of the people it infects. EDITED! 89.155.179.230 (talk) 10:52, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

You are shouting in your way of formulating,
You have a different/wrong understanding of common cause. A virus can either often cause pneumonia or often cause other diseases and sometimes pneumonia. SARS apparently usually causes pneumonia, regardless how often the disease occurs.--Wickey-nl (talk) 12:24, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

SARS commonly cause pneumonia but it is not a common cause of pneumonia --MuanN (talk) 04:21, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Edit warring

Dude, can you stop with the edit warring + the misinformation about prolonged mask use causes viral pneumonia. You need to cite a source why prolonged mask use causes pneumonia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaseng55 (talk • contribs) 02:35, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Adults vs children

The statement that viral pneumonia is more common than bacterial pneumonia in children is directly contradicted by the main article for pneumonia, which says that only 15% of pneumonia is viral for children but up to half for adults. 2A02:C7C:6535:D100:F010:CF0C:18E3:EFE (talk) 15:33, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
