Recent study has suggested that mortality associated with severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia is more often associated with respiratory failure that increases the risk of unresolving VAP and is less frequently associated with multiple-organ dysfunction; and, unsurprisingly, the study found that people with bacterial pneumonia who were on ventilators had the highest mortality.

Whether the majority of Covid hospital deaths were attributed to untreated bacterial pneumonia?
