PUBLIC HEALTH *cough coro cough*

Since the end of 2019, the world has been shaken by the Corona Virus Disease 19 (COVID-19) attack. The Malaysian government has adopted numerous phases of the Movement Manage Order (MCO) 2020 beginning on March 18, 2020, in an effort to control the prevention of COVID-19. In the face of the COVID pandemic-19, which is spreading rapidly, and the implementation of the PKP-PKPB-PKPP, which was executed for the first time in Malaysia, the public is always searching for sources to get the most up-to-date information on the status and news of the COVID-19 outbreak, as well as the most recent Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). People used to rely on traditional sources such as radio and television to acquire information, but technological advancements now put everything at their fingertips through the usage of the internet and communications technology (ICT). The usage of technology such as the Internet, as well as media such as social media, is considered as extremely beneficial in giving up-to-date information. During the isolation or lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of persons accessing virtual (online) content rose over the world. Among the virtual content accessed is the ability to delight yourself and obtain up-to-date information on COVID-19.

In the past year, there have been 128 million more mobile phone users, according to the "Digital 2020 Global Statshot Report" by We Are Social, Hootsuite, and Kepios. This growth in mobile phone users is likely to contribute to an increase in social media use globally. The spreading of fake news and rumours is one of the major issues confronting the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, the WHO has voiced their concern about the virus pandemic as well as the issue of false information and the dissemination of persistent falsehoods. False information can prevent the responsible party from responding, prevent the public from receiving accurate information, and delay the adoption of measures to combat the outbreak.

The Movement Control Order (MCO) enforced in our country since mid-March last year to curb the spread of COVID-19 has also increased the use of the internet and communication on social media. Various campaigns and reminders are given by relevant agencies such as the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM) about the ethics of using social media, but such campaigns are considered unimportant and ignored by some netizens. Everyone is racing to share information and give opinions without considering the validity of the information. The public is advised to first check the validity of any information regarding the COVID-19 outbreak and the Movement Control Order (MCO) before sharing it on social media to avoid the spread of false news and inaccurate information. People can be upset by fake news. The community is under strain as a result of the scenario as reported in fake news. The existence of prior news has increased the burden of those responsible for determining the veracity of the news and presenting it to the community.

Procedure of using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during COVID-19

Procedure of using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during COVID-19 in Biomedical Journal of Scientific & Technical Research

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been announced as epidemic by the World Health Organization, later it declared as a pandemic on 12th March of 2020, with Italy being considered the fresh ‘‘epicentre’’ of the emergency, which started in the province of China, Wuhan. 22,512 cases have been accounted for in Italy when begins from 15 March 2020, 2,026 (9%) of which belong to people who works in hospitals [1]. Tragically, rates for emergency unit with the requirement for mechanical ventilation and tracheal intubation and are roughly 5% in patients having Corona Virus [2]. Given the fast development of this outburst and the need to bound death rate in medical care laborers, it is principal that medical services experts be comfortable with mutually the meaning of an excessive hazard introduction and the right donning & doffing methods for the PPE required throughout the consideration of these infectious people. A great hazard introduction has been characterized as ‘’delayed near interaction with Corona virus patients who are not using mask whereas the medical services specialist’s mouth and nose are presented to objects conceivably contaminated with the infection [3].At the point when medical services suppliers’ mouth, nose or eyes are insecure during the lead of airborne creating clinical methodology on patients with Corona disease (e.g., Nebulizer therapy, Cardiopulmonary resuscitation, intubation, extubation and bronchoscopy) around is a great danger of infection [3]. At the point when utilized effectively, PPE shields from this Virus, yet this is basic that PPE is appropriately donned and properly doffed. The breadth and variety of different types of PPE, such as facemasks, gloves, and respiratory equipment, as well as the extended use beyond previous standards, have led to a spectrum of common dermatologic conditions, including contact/irritant dermatitis, pressure-related skin injury, acneiform eruptions, and moistureassociated skin irritation [4]. These reenactments have uncovered basic parts of the cycle that, whenever done inappropriately, may prompt penetrates in biosafety and possible risk with the infection, triggering Corona infection.

Research - Life After Covid

What is Covid?

Corona virus disease 2019 pandemic was originated from Wuhan city, Hubei Province, China in December 2019. The outbreak of Covid 19 pandemic has mostly affected the human health and has severely been observed as a reason for increased death cases all over the globe.

Covid 19 has affected everyday life of humans and has hindered the worldwide economy. This pandemic also impacted a social life of people all over the world. Many countries locked their facilities, amenities, educational institutions, industrial sectors, daily usage marketplaces and others, to prevent the spread of this infections.

A negative point of the virus is that emotional well-being is avoided, such as physical interactions (hugging, kissing) socializing activities (dinner with friends) are canceled.

People are also losing jobs in the business sector at an alarming rate.

However, there are also positive points such as people could spend more time bonding with their families. Even the global movement told people about the social guidelines and the special vaccine. Hygiene and sanitation were given much attention. Public health became scruntized as well. Many businesses embraced remote working and digitalization.

Some suggest that the Corona virus is like a dress rehearsal for the much bigger climate crisis to come. Moving towards a zero-carbon economic will involve many of the changes. For example, if people are working at home, then this suggests that a great deal of office space in the center of cities will no longer be needed. What happens to city centers which are crowded? What sort of transport might we need if the nine-to-five commute is no longer a routine? What sort of housing, schooling and care might help people work successfully from home, or local workspaces? So, this is the little opportunity that the virus has given us.

COVID 19 PANDEMIC.

What major historical events do you remember? The corona virus disease 2019 Covid-19 pandemic is a global out break of coronavirus,an infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2). A pandemic is when a new disease or new strain of an existing disease spreads worldwide. Viral respiratory diseases such as new influenza viruses and COVID 19 are the…

What is disease X? How are scientists preparing for the next pandemic?

"Disease X." The term was coined years ago as a way for scientists to work on medical treatments for unknown infectious threats—such as the new corona viruses that cause COVID-19—rather than just known ones like the Ebola virus. The idea was to encourage the development of platform technologies, including vaccines, drug therapies, and diagnostic tests, that could be rapidly adapted and deployed in response to pandemics or future outbreaks with pandemic potential.

What is 'X disease'?

It is an uncommon but somewhat mysterious moniker for a serious sickness associated with microbiological threats. The World Health Organization included deadly diseases like Ebola and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) on its list of pathogens that should receive the highest priority for research in 2017. When COVID-19 entered the pandemic in late 2019, it was a kind of disease X, according to its unique corona virus source. There could be more of these illnesses in the future due to the widespread viral reservoir seen in wildlife. This is because it has the ability to spread and infect people as well as other species, creating an infection to which humans would be immune.

According to the WHO website, it "represents the knowledge that a serious international epidemic may be caused by a pathogen currently unknown as a cause of human disease".

It could be a new agent—a virus, a bacterium, or a fungus—with no known treatment.

The Lancet says the WHO officially began using the term in 2018, which represents an unknown disease with pandemic potential.

Experts have called for research to identify the next pathogen that could cause another pandemic.

Health experts worldwide have issued a warning, suggesting that COVID-19 could signify a more catastrophic Disease X pandemic, the Daily Mail reported. The head of the UK's vaccine taskforce, Dame Kate Bingham, expressed gratitude that the virus was not more deadly than COVID-19 and warned that the next pandemic could kill at least 50 million people.

Disease X Epidemic

As COVID-19 becomes a more familiar and recurring health problem, UK medical experts are now preparing for a possible new pandemic called "Disease X". They warned that this new virus's effects could be comparable to the devastating Spanish flu of 1918–1920. The World Health Organization has named this "Disease X Pandemic", and to combat it, vaccines must again be developed and delivered promptly. However, there currently needs to be a guarantee that this will happen.

Medical professionals are voicing concerns about "disease x pandemic," a term that the World Health Organization coined. They warn us that this next pandemic could kill 20 times more people than the corona virus. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, more than 2.5 million people have tragically died worldwide.

How can we make medical interventions without knowing which disease ("DISEASE X") will strike next?

• By focusing efforts to develop drug remedies against viral families, it is more likely to start a pandemic than a specific virus that may or may not pose a future threat.

• The United States should fund a new, targeted Disease X medical countermeasures program that uses vaccination platforms and technologies best suited to virus families that could unleash future devastating disease outbreaks.

• As the next member of the viral family evolves, medical immunity against one member can easily change to target another.

• Private-public collaboration can develop vaccines, antiviral, and diagnostics for various unknown, potentially pandemic viruses in months rather than years using this adaptive strategy.

According to the authors, Covid-19, which has killed 20 million people worldwide, was not the worst-case scenario. They note that the virus has killed fewer people than Ebola, avian flu and MERS. They argue that chance cannot prevent subsequent epidemics, which may be more deadly and contagious. "Most victims of the virus have recovered. However, 67% of Ebola patients die. At 60%, bird flu is close. Even MERS reached 34%.

Subsequent outbreaks cannot be controlled, the authors say. They recommend improving global cooperation and coordination in vaccine research and development, strengthening health systems and surveillance, and preparing for pandemics. They claim that the next pandemic is coming, and the world needs to be ready.

Control and mitigation strategies include developing and implementing uniform international guidelines for controlling bioterrorism. To prevent the spread of Pathogen X across borders, it is necessary to implement immediate and appropriate travel restrictions, including strict airport screening. It is the world. It also requires a collaborative approach by world leaders, scientists, epidemiologists, and infectious disease specialists to investigate, control, and eradicate disease X. Widespread and mass testing, surveillance, and aggressive contact tracing are potentially effective tools to contain outbreak-like situations in time" said Dr Rastogi.

"Concentrated efforts to accelerate access and rapid availability of immediate treatment measures—testing kits, vaccines, and first aid—are needed before and during epidemics. Ongoing continuation of research on preventive aspects—development of vaccines and reduction of processes—should be increased and prioritized. And X diseases. Fight against serious adverse consequences," she says

"A one-health approach aimed at bridging institutional gaps, creating and stratifying priority risk and warning pathogens, and emphasizing mitigation strategies for emerging and re-emerging pathogens—potentially disease X—is the need of the hour to prevent these global catastrophes. should

How is research on the next pandemic going?

It took just 326 days for the first COVID vaccine to be approved since the genetic sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was published, thanks to work done since 2017 to prepare for Disease X. Now groups like the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, or CEPI, are supporting rapid response vaccine platforms under a $3.5 billion plan that could develop new vaccines within 100 days of pandemic-potential emerging viruses. Other efforts underway include:

• Updating international health regulations and creating a new global agreement to protect the world from future emergencies

• A new fund, approved by the World Bank, for pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response.

• A WHO Hub for Epidemics and Epidemic Intelligence in Berlin aimed to provide rapid access to critical data and develop analytical tools and predictive models to assess potential threats.

• The Global Virome Project aims to discover zoonotic viral threats and prevent future epidemics.

• A $5 billion US government initiative to develop next-generation vaccines and treatments for COVID-19 is called Project NextGen.

$262.5 million in funding for the US National Network to Identify and More Efficiently Respond to Public Health Emergencies.

Disease X is found in which countries?

The following hypothetical epidemic threat, disease X," not tied to a specific country, is not a new term, but its prominence has increased recently. Introduced by the World Health Organization (WHO) in February 2018, Disease X represents an uncharacterized, potential pathogen that could be at the center of future pandemics. Rather than identifying a specific disease in a particular country, the concept is a profound reminder of our continued vulnerability to unpredictable infectious diseases. A recent warning from a UK health expert has reignited the conversation about Disease X, suggesting the next pandemic could be even more devastating than COVID-19.

Thoughtful Thursdays: Artificial Intelligence in Times of Pandemic

The world was taken by storm when covid 19 hit and started to “nurture” in December 2019. Not long after, the disease was spread to every city and every lane, leaving its strong, sharp effects on the healthcare industry. Early and quick detection of COVID-19 is a challenging task for the medical community, but it is also crucial in stopping the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Prior attestation of artificial intelligence (AI) in various fields of science has encouraged researchers to come up with stable and efficient solutions and further address this problem. 

Artificial intelligence played a vital and independent role in countering corona while helping gain knowledge about necessary information such as vaccine distribution, hospital management, drug discovery, financial aid circulation, clinical data insights, and covid diagnosis.

AI can help in mitigating the impact of the lockdown and in actively responding to this crisis. A very important method to evaluate the effect is rapid and random widespread testing to understand the pattern and identify hotspot zones to quarantine affected people. Apps like Arogya Setu were introduced, which show much of the user’s risk factor depending on their movement and proximity to infected or at-risk people, based on location-based mobile data using Bluetooth for generating alerts. The app alerts are accompanied by instructions on how to self-isolate and what to do in case someone develops symptoms that they need help & support. Similarly, DRDO’s AI brains launched SAMPARC App, which had created a technology-focused solution to track patients who are under quarantine.

The pandemic generated tons of data every day. Patient data, CT scans, MIT reports, chest X-rays, blood results, genetic data, and more. Human experts can barely scratch the surface of this data. Though fortunately enough, AI algorithms can process these insights at scale and analyze patterns to speed up diagnosis and give tips on vaccine development and treatment. Pharmaceutical firms, medical institutions, hospitals, and healthcare technology providers who adopt AI tools will boost both profits and market share.

The gold standard for diagnostic tests for COVID-19 is RT-PCR. However, RT-PCR does produce false negatives making it not the most trusted method to verify the disease. A study concluded that chests are far more sensitive to CT scans than to RT-PCR tests (98 vs. 71%, respectively). Using AI, we can train algorithms to produce and analyze chest computed tomography (CT) scans with vascular thickening, spider web, bilateral and GGO, and more complex patterns.

To add even further to this, we can make these algorithms with crazy high-end dimensional features even radiologists can’t handle, such as wavelet and texture information allowing pneumonia caused by covid to be distinguished early on and be given the right cure. Researchers have succeeded in developing a machine model that can diagnose corona from chest X-rays 10 times faster than human radiologists and up to 6% more accurately.

Case of Necrotizing Pancreatitis following COVID-19 Infection by Faezeh Sehatpour in Journal of Clinical Case Reports Medical Images and Health Sciences  

ABSTRACT

New aspects of COVID-19 are increasingly being recognized. Although the virus is mainly known to affect the lungs, involvement of other organs including the heart, liver, gastrointestinal, renal and pancreas is also detected. Acute pancreatitis is detected as one of both the early and late presentations of COVID -19. Cytokine storm or the presence of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor in pancreatic cells, are both two causes of pancreatic injury in COVID-19 infection. In this study, we reported a 25-year-old man admitted to our department with the impression of necrotizing pancreatitis concomitant with COVID-19 infection. Patient's lab data, imaging and outcomes were documented in full detail.

INTRODUCTION

The Covid-19 pandemic is an ongoing pandemic that started in December 2019 and spread rapidly around the word. COVID-19 was caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), first identified in Wuhan, China. So far, more than 200 countries have been affected by the pandemic. (1)

New aspects of COVID-19 are increasingly being recognized. Although the virus is mainly known to affect the lungs, involvement of other organs including the heart, liver, gastrointestinal, renal and pancreas is increasingly being reported. (2)

The involvement of the gastrointestinal system is maybe due to the expression of the angiotensin-converting enzyme2 (ACE2) on the hepatocyte, cholangiocyte and  other parts of the GI tract. (3) In a recent survey, acute pancreatitis was detected as one of both early and late presentations of COVID -19. (4-6) However, it is still unclear whether SARS-COV-2 directly affects pancreatic cells because of ACE2, if it is a cytokine storm which causes pancreatic injury. (7)

We reported a case of COVID-19 with subsequent acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

CASE REPORT

A 25-year-old man without any known medical disease presented to our emergency department with progressive epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting and anorexia one week prior to admission. He has no history of alcohol consumption. He also had a history of admission to another hospital about two weeks ago with a diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia. On admission, he has a blood pressure of 115/75 mm HG, a heart rate of 100 beats per minute, a temperature of 37.1 ⁰C and oxygen saturation of 95% while the patient is breathing in the room air. Primary investigations summarized in Table-1. Amylase and lipase were 146 IU/L and 82 IU/L respectively. Nasal swab test for COVID-19 (RT-PCR for SARS-CoV-2) was positive. Abdominal sonography showed markedly prominent pancreas with in homogeneous parenchymal echogenicity and large cystic lesion arising from the pancreas, in favor of acute complicated pancreatitis with pseudo cyst. The gall bladder has a normal size and wall thickness without any gall stones. The pancreatic duct was not dilated.  Due to the finding of abdominal ultra sound, CT scan of abdomen was done on him which revealed an enlarged pancreas with necrosis of the main portion of pancreatic parenchyma. Large cystic lesion measuring 15×7×11 cm in size arising from the pancreatic neck with extension to the right and left side of the abdomen suggestive of large pancreatic pseudo cyst (figure1).  Lung HRCT (low dose) also showed bilateral peripheral ground glass opacities in favor of COVID-19 pneumonia (figure2). According to the findings of a physical exam, laboratory data and clues in imaging immediate management of acute necrotizing pancreatitis (invasive intravenous hydration and pain control) was started for him. He was finally discharged from the hospital with a full recovery.

Table 1: laboratory data

Figure 1: Abdominal CT scan:  large loculated pseudo cystic structure measuring about 158mm*100mm in lesser sac due to post pancreatitis pseudo cyst formation.

Figure 2: lung HRCT: multiple ground glass and bilateral pleural effusion

DISCUSSION

Acute pancreatitis is an acute inflammation of the pancreas characterized by abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and elevated exocrine pancreatic enzymes; amylase and lipase. Gallstones and chronic alcohol abuse are the most common causes of acute pancreatitis. Viruses are uncommon causes of acute pancreatitis. Pancreatitis has been reported with several viruses, including mumps, coxsackievirus, hepatitis A and B virus, cytomegalovirus, varicella-zoster, herpes simplex and human immunodeficiency virus. (8)

Although we have not conclusively proven the presence of the virus in the pancreas, the causes of COVID-19 and acute pancreatitis and the lack of other clear causes for pancreatitis strengthen the relationship between the two diseases.  In this study, the patient presented with necrotizing COVID-19in 19 in the early post period of COVID-19 infection.

In Fan Wang and colleagues' survey, 52 COVID-19 cases followed and showed that 17% of COVID-19 patients developed pancreatic injury and presented with mild elevated pancreatic enzymes; serum amylase and lipase without clinically severe pancreatitis. The possibility of drug induced acute pancreatitis in patients who have received medication due to COVID-19 is also expressed as one of the reasons for acute pancreatitis in COVID-for19 infection. (9) Saffa Saeed Al Mazrouei and his teammates reported a 24-year-old patient with acute non-necrotizing pancreatitis with concurrent COVID-19. No evidence of pseudo cyst or abscess was detected in his imaging. (10)

Pancreatic damage can be due to the direct effect of the virus on pancreatic cells or indirectly secondary to the immune system. In another study in Wuhan, it showed that ACE2 was expressed in the pancreas higher than the lung in the normal population, indicating that SARS-CoV-2 can bind to ACE2 in the pancreas and cause pancreatic cell damage. (7, 11)

Acute pancreatitis is one of the presentations or complications of COVID-19 infection. Further investigation with samples is needed to reveal the pathophysiology, presentation, treatment and prognosis of acute pancreatitis in COVID-19 infection.

Corona virus

The coronavirus was responsible for the Covid-19 pandemic. It is an infectious disease that has affected millions of people’s lives. The pandemic has impacted people all across the world in diverse ways. It was first discovered in Wuhan, China, in 2019. However, the World Health Organization (WHO) proclaimed it a pandemic in March 2020, claiming that it has spread throughout the globe like wildfire. The pandemic has claimed the lives of millions of people. The virus had negative consequences for those who were infected, including the development of a variety of chronic disorders. The main symptoms of this disease were loss of smell and taste, fatigue, pale skin, sneezing, coughing, oxygen deficiency, etc. Because Covid-19 was an infectious disease, all those who were infected were instructed to segregate themselves from those who were not. The folks who were affected were separated from their families and locked in a room. The government has prioritised people’s safety. The frontline personnel were like superheroes, working tirelessly to ensure the public’s safety. For the sake of their patients’ and close relatives’ safety, many doctors had to stay away from their families and babies. The government had also taken significant steps and implemented different protocols for the protection of people.

COVID-19 Diagnostics

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic arising from corona virus disease – 19 (COVID-19). Some of the first cases that began from Wuhan (China) in end of 2019 have reached almost 4,347,935 cases causing 297,241 deaths, worldwide (As of 15 May 2020). On one hand the healthcare systems globally have been struggling to manage the COVID-19 patient population and the researchers are racing to find a solution to this problem; while on the other hand, the economic impacts are felt across other sectors. Globally, there has been GDP decline, increase in unemployment rates, and increase in inflation rates. For instance, in the U.S., by end of April 2020, more than 3.8 million people were laid off and roughly 30 million people filed for jobless aid. In the U.K., around 7.5 million people are covered under furlough scheme, a government’s job retention scheme (May 2012). Top countries to have the most number of confirmed cases (As of 15 May 2020) included the U.S., Spain, Russia, the U.K., Italy, Brazil, France, Germany, Turkey, and Iran. Top countries to have most number of deaths due to COVID-19 (as of 15 May 2020) include the U.S., the U.K., Italy, France, Spain, Brazil, Germany, Iran, Turkey, and India.

Based on syringe type, the market is segmented into luer lock syringes, glass syringes, luer slip syringes, and others. In 2019, the glass syringes segment held the largest share of the market. The segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This segment is likely to witness a lucrative growth owing to low mechanical tolerance, and smooth movement of the plunger. Furthermore, properties of glass, such as nonreactive nature and heat and chemical resistance, are contributing to the growth of this segment. Moreover, glass syringes are highly compatible with various drug filing devices and are easy to manufacture, which makes them the most preferred syringes in market. In March 2019, Gerresheimer AG launched metal free 1 ml long Luer lock Gx RTF glass syringes to deliver highly complex, protein-based bioengineered molecules.

In the last few years, the health care sector has witnessed SARS, H1N1 and other outbreaks. However, the severity of the coronavirus makes the situation more complex. Additionally, with no vaccine in market and only preventive measure to self-isolation is hitting the various industries including Syringe manufacturing in the region. The US and Canada have witnessed spike in cases in just few days, which has compelled the governments to shut down all the business in order to prevent the spread of the virus.. As of July 2020, in the US, more than 5.0 million confirmed corona cases were recorded and more than 160 thousands deaths were reported due to COVID 19 Pandemic. The syringe market is expected to be hit by the pandemic the most due to increasing number of cases and lockdown in most of the cities.

Becton, Dickinson and Company ; Baxter International Inc.; Terumo Corporation; Vita Needle Company; Cardinal Health Inc.; NIPRO; RETRACTABLE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.; B. Braun Medical Inc.; AIR-TITE PRODUCTS CO., INC.; and HENKE-SASS, WOLF Ltd., are among the leading companies operating in the syringes market.

Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer, are among the primary causes of death in adults. Infectious diseases are also the top causes of death in children and adults. Chronic and infectious diseases need continuous diagnosis using various medical tests,which requires the use of syringes.

According to the World Health Organization estimations, around 16 billion injections are administered every year globally. It has been estimated that chronic diseases would account for almost three-quarters of all deaths worldwide, and that 75% of deaths due to stroke, 71% of deaths due to ischemic heart disease (IHD), and 70% of deaths due to diabetes would occur in developing countries by 2020. Many of these patients are advised regular intravenous administration of insulin, which increases the demand for syringes.

Infectious diseases are the secondtop cause of deaths worldwide and are among the top causes of death in children under age 5. For instance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated that 1.7 million hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) occurred in 2017, and 99,000 associated deaths occur annually in American hospitals. It is estimated that nearly 32.0% of HAIs are urinary tract infections (UTIs), 22.0% are surgical site infections (SSIs), 15.0% are pneumonia, and 14.0% are bloodstream infections (BSIs).
