I saw it written that there were four types of pneumonia, but I don’t see them specified.

I went to the Hospital and they told me I had glass lung pneumonia. I told them to give me a broad spectrum antibiotic and send me home. It took me all day, but they cut me loose after I had my daughter called and harassed the staff. I survived easily. I flat out told them that I had the Flu before, that turned into pneumonia in 1993. They gave it to me in case it was bacterial to be safe. The same happened this time.

Does anyone know if glass lung pneumonia is a made up term, it used to be walking pneumonia?

They pry meant ground glass opacities on the lung X-ray. It’s seen in CoVID 19 but also in viral pneumonia as well as congestive heart failure.
