there is a terrible virus or something going around with people getting a cough that goes on for weeks with a feeling of smotheering

Yep. Goes right to the lungs. Even after it is over, a week or so, effects linger. Pneumonia could easily complicate.

Same age as my daughter. Her parents are grieving mightily.

The word "dehuff" isn't even in your title. The word has to be in the title.

When you post an article you can enter whatever keywords you want. It has nothing to do with the title. You're really not supposed to change the title from how it was originally published. I did a keyword search on dehuff and found nothing. I just think it's weird that whoever posted the original article didn't use her name as one of the keywords.

I know there is something going around here that hangs on. But to die of pneumonia seems outlandish with modern medicines.

I know of a small child who died here last week. Was just cold, came in and laid down with mom in bed to get warm. She got so cold that mom drew the tub with warm water for her to soak in. When mom picked the child up, the little one went limp and turned blue. She died at the ER just a few hours later. 7 years old I think. What is happening lately?!

So sad. My friend was just admitted for pneumonia last week and just got out of ICU.
