Is this anything like the rapidity at which Muppet’s creator Jim Henson died of strep pneumonia, where he had been ill a day or so, realized he was much worse, got in a cab to the hospital but collapsed and died of massive organ failure sepsis in their ICU?

I don’t believe it. Young people don’t die from pneumonia so quickly. Pneumonia does not become life threatening so quickly.

I know of two people who died of sepsis 48hrs after flu like symptoms. Coded in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. No comorbidities for one. One was just diagnosed with bladder cancer, biopsied on Monday died on Wednesday.

Henson had had it for a couple of weeks actually but was treating it like a bad cold.
