For what? I’ve already written out the numbers in multiple comments. 50,000-100,000 cases a year, 5,000-10,000 deaths a year. Not everyone gets pneumonia every year, not everyone is equally healthy/unhealthy or has other factors that can make it more likely, not everyone is the same age, etc. So you can’t just apply this to the entire country. What the exact number is is not critical to understanding that. For the same reason not everybody has to worry about being killed on their bike on the way to work. Because not everybody rides a bike to work.
The number of cases and the number of deaths associated, as well pneumonia/MRSA infection/ while hospitalized, is well documented. You can find stuff from the NIH and beyond about this. It’s a very serious issue that hospitals have never been able to truly fix. A cursory search would show you this, I’m sure there are a dozen major articles you could find in no time.

I wasn’t going to say anything, but it does irritate me when people ask me to go do their research for them and then ghost after. At least have the decency to say you didn’t read it or blew it off.

I felt no need to respond because you twice didn’t answer the question I asked.
What are the odds that a 45 year old would die in a 75 day time period?
Just a simple number and how you got it. This is the third time I have asked.

What kind of question is that? I don’t even know how you would do the math on that or why you chose it. So, what? The odds that any 45-year-old at any given time will die within 75 days of turning 45? Or within some window of 75 days within the the 365 day period of being 45? The question is nonsensical. I’m not even sure what you were trying to answer.
There you have your answer. Now kindly piss off. You’ve ignored everything I’ve written and it’s clear you just don’t understand stats. It’s not a crime to not know it, but making up questions off the top of your head that don’t address the actual question we are asking is not productive and I am tired of wasting my time.
