Ugh. Years ago my DH was thoughtful enough to buy me a book during my recovery from Legionnaire’s. Somehow “The Stand” didn’t turn out to be a good book to read while you are just sure that you are going to smother to death.
I and several other folks got it at a gun show in 2003. I got only a light infection and was cured with ease. But my best friend and many others were not so lucky getting it so bad that hospital stays were required.
