What Hillary Clinton’s pneumonia diagnosis means, medically-speaking
MSN ^

Posted on 09/12/2016 8:40:28 AM PDT by MNDude

“At this point, there is no reason to believe that Secretary Clinton will be disabled” by pneumonia, American Lung Association scientific adviser Norman H. Edelman told The Washington Post by phone Sunday night.

The CDC estimates that 2 million people a year fall sick with such milder forms of pneumonia. “Developing walking pneumonia does not mean you have poor health,” Stanford University pulmonologist Mark Nicolls said in an interview with The Washington Post. “Young and healthy people develop walking pneumonia.” It is possible there are even more cases than that CDC estimate, too, as walking pneumonia is hard to diagnose. Symptoms rarely stray from coughing, fever, fatigue and other average maladies.

If Clinton indeed has walking pneumonia, there is a decent chance — odds range between 1 to 50 and 1 to 5 — that the culprit is a bug named Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Among bacteria, M. pneumoniae is an oddity. It is both exceptionally small — one of the smallest organisms on earth — and unusually vulnerable, as it lacks the cell walls that sheath most other bacteria. As far as is known, it is an exclusive human parasite, unable to reproduce outside of warm and wet human organs. M. pneumoniae is spread person-to-person, through droplets expelled through the respiratory tract.

I’ve had pneumonia myself and I seriously doubt that’s what Hillary has. This seems a more reasonable explanation.

Yeah, pneumonia is no big deal. Why would you even lie about it? All the cool kids have it.

IMO, if they are saying pneumonia it’s probably something worse. Also, if this was DT that was ill can you imagine? The libmedia would be going BONKERS.

Excellent, she should be healthy fodder for the debates then.

When you write for Pravda, you write what you are told to write and then drink vodka to soothe your ethics later.

The MSM makes the Soviet-era Pravda seem pure as a church newsletter.

Oh she does have some kind of muscular/neuro/degenerative thing going that brings pneumonia to the table pretty often.

After that pneumonia kills a fairly high percentage of people in her age range.

There is always hope but of course she will have the best care money can buy.

I think we can start dusting off the old jokes about how Pravda used to cover up the grave medical condition of Politburo leaders by claiming that they had “colds” and apply them to the press treatment of Hillary:

TASS announcement: “Today, due to bad health and without regaining consciousness, Hillary Clinton took up the duties of Secretary General”

” M. pneumoniae is spread person-to-person, through droplets expelled through the respiratory tract.”

Which means she shouldn’t be spending time around children, especially. That goes for staged photo-op children on the street as well as her grandchildren, one of whom is an infant.

Just a diversion. Quick, we need to change the narrative.

I could [sort of] respect these media people if they had the honesty to admit they are whoring for Hillary.

It means she and her puppeteers ELECTED to
share the infection with the crowds, with the children,
with the infirmed.

It means that again SHE IS ABOVE THE LAW and ETHICS.

The pneumonia thing is pure bull.

It’s made up as an excuse. It was picked because it’s not unusual in older folks and it’s something that can be recovered from.

Whatever Hillary has, it ain’t that.

There’s way more at stake than the usual drive by the destructionist left to infest the office of POTUS for their usual destructive motivations.

Now, in this election, Hillery, her “husband” and many in the DNC leadership have only one hope of staying out of prison.

That hope is for Hillary to take the POTUS and be able to appoint her handpicked Attorney General to aid in digging out and destroying any evidence of her egregious criminality.

Since when is pneumonia not serious, especially to older people?

After visiting Chelsea's she yells out, "It's a beautiful day in New York!" On 911, very thoughtful.

She also said, "I feel great!" Four hours later...pneumonia.

Oh, and get this: allergies don't go to pneumonia.

By the way, don't they need X-rays to diagnose pneumonia? When did she have those with the press on her heels every minute? So, like WHEN? Does Chelsea have one of those machines?

what you need to rethink is that, for instance, many paralyzed, post-op, and bedridden elderly die of pnuemonia.

This is because their musculature for deep breathing is poor.

So it is actually quite possible that H has a neuro-muscular thing and pneumonia is a complication.
