So I just had a thought ... lung issues being the main risk factor and pneumonia the main cause of death, will we see a correlation between general air pollution levels and fatality rate?

I'm fairly sure there is a link between smoking and fatalities - in Hubei, more men have died than women, and I don't think it's a coincidence that men in China (esp of that sort of age group) are extremely likely to smoke whereas women are extremely unlikely to smoke.
