From cough to full pneumonia in few ours sounds made up
But people with severe pneumonia that die in the ambulance is not rare
Pneumonia still kills 13 thousands people every year in Italy
Pneumonia has a very high mortality rate, the average for EU is 25/100 thousands while covid-19 is at 2/100 thousands
The flu kills between 9 and 10 thousands people every year in Italy
Most die home because nobody goes to the doctor for a flu usually
If they did, even with light symptoms, we would have the same situation we are having now
In bad epidemic years it kills way more in Italy. 24k in 2017 epidemic
