Pneumonia can be viral. Take it easy!!!

Sorry, not when they told me I was going to the ICU -- until my oxygen saturation levels stabilized two-plus hours into the ER visit. My chest x-rays, both of them, showed no evidence of viral pneumonia. I've had the viral once and the bacterial four times.

BTW, they did blood cultures, and viral blood tests, all of which came back negative. Talk to me again after a doctor tells you you have a serious life-threatening condition right now. It gets your attention.

You can get the viral pneumonia shot. You'll never get it again. But you can get bacterial pneumonia.
