Symptomatic Similarity of Coronavirus Disease and the Pneumonia

Symptomatically, the Coronavirus Disease is very similar to that Pneumonia. Also, Pneumonia has been known to cause havoc around the Indo-China region historically. Today, there is a medical cure in prevention by using Vaccines against the Pneumonia virus. Consequently, it seems that the Coronavirus is a severe form of the Pneumonia, in that it has a higher fatality rate. However, it can be reasonably assured that such severity could be due to environmental causes at the source of origin. In other Non-Source countries where the disease is transmitted, would not have such an environmental risk, rather a risk of transmission by human contact and air droplets. Hence, it could be inferred that taking appropriate precautions against the Pneumonia would prevent the higher risk of the disease at transmitted countries. Accordingly, WHO should recommend the Pneumonia Vaccine as a Primary Precaution, whilst further development and testing is carried out comprehensively for the Coronavirus itself. Post majority implementation of the Primary Precaution, a higher transmission rate and lockdowns could be avoided. Non-Source countries should target to maintain 70% Vaccination rate on an ongoing basis.

  • So we should protect people from a coronavirus by vaccinating them against a completely different disease, just because the symptoms are similar?
