you realize that this is low, not high, right?
re-admission for pneumonia is generally around 20% over the next 30 days.
you're looking at 9% over 60 days.
that's not even half and uses twice the duration.
oh, and flu is 14% re-admit over 30 days.
also higher. https://twitter.com/Laurie_Garrett/status/1325874744978239489

even in general population, pneumonia was 19%
and re-admit was only 7.4% from pneumonia. it was more often COPD or congestive heart failure
hey, is this starting to sound like covid scare stories?

even flu is higher than covid.
it's 14% over 30 days vs 9% over 60.
and so this narrative of "more dangerous that flu" keeps unravelling.
honest question: did you even think to look before tweeting that egregious misstatement?
google could have told you in 0.04 seconds.

i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and presume you meant well and simply made a mistake and posted highly misleading information because you lacked the ability to contextualize it.
but you should really take it down.
you're spreading fear with inaccurate reporting.
