“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.

“Pneumonia” = last stages of Parkinson’s
I think you missed my sarc (/s) tag on the end. I don’t think she has it at all. She went from having no control of her muscles to being able to walk unaided - all in a space of 90 minutes. That was not a result of pneumonia. It wouldn’t clear up that quick in someone that old. She has Parkinsons and it was an episode. She rested for 90 min and was probably given a strong dose of L. Dopa to keep her going for a short while.
Or meeting, greeting and coughing all over people at fundraisers.
And if, as reports are surfacing, quite a few of her inner circle have been sick with pneumonia during the past few weeks, the doctors should have kept her away from them and also tested her for it as soon as she had symptoms.
I’ve done some research on this. Pneumonia is a common secondary condition when Parkinsons advances. The flap that prevents food and fluid from entering the lungs when we eat or drink becomes less responsive. The fluids and foods enter the lungs causing the pneumonia infection. CHF, congestive heart failure is another step along the progression. None of this is good. It’s time to lay the cards of the table and be honest. This has become life and death. Can the posturing for politics just stop please.

Infections Associated with AIDS
Because people with AIDS have weakened immune systems, they’re more prone to infections, called opportunistic infections. Opportunistic infections are caused by organisms that typically don’t cause disease in healthy people but affect people with damaged immune systems. These organisms attack when there’s an opportunity to infect.
Deterioration of the immune system is caused by the decline in CD4+ T cells, which are key infection fighters. As soon as HIV enters the body, it begins to destroy these cells.
Symptoms of opportunistic infections common with AIDS include:
Coma
Coughing and shortness of breath
Difficult or painful swallowing
Extreme fatigue
Fever
Mental symptoms such as confusion and forgetfulness
Nausea, abdominal cramps and vomiting
Seizures and lack of coordination
Severe, persistent diarrhea
Severe headaches
Vision loss
Weight loss
All except the weight loss fits her.
Maybe one room in Chelsea's apartment has already been converted into a well-equipped hospital room (I'm not kidding). That way Hillary could get treatment without being photographed going into a hospital.
I’m stealing that.
Sure looked like a neuromuscular problem yesterday. Frightening watching her right arm stiffly bent at the elbow with palm facing out behind her back. The gentleman assisting her had to pry her arm out. Her legs did not have purposeful movement, quite stiff. This was not a fainting spell, and it did not appear to be jelly-legged weakness. Looked more ominous.
It makes no difference what Hillary has.
It makes no difference what she says or does or what criminal activities it is proven that she is guilty of,
she can still win.
Think she can’t win?
Who would have ever dreamed Americans would elect Obama not once but twice?!
Yes. With an electorate dumb enough to elect the white/Jewish/America hating usurper a second time, she can win.
And if Hillary gets in, she will flood our country with dangerous Muslim ‘refugees’. She has already vowed to do this. (Google it)
She will also continue Obama’s policy of open borders, where not only Mexican and S American illegal criminal aliens flood daily over the border, but dangerous Muslim Jihadists.
The rats will use every dirty trick in the book to put her
or a substitute in the White House.
That’s why we must not become over-confident.
That’s why we must fight for Trump with all we’ve got until the very end.

It really looked like a vasovagal to me. She has an inability to stand because she is, imo, having frequent vasovagal attacks.
Don’t a lot of aids patients actually die of pneumonia?
My understanding is that if you get pnemonia (especially in summer) it is a symptom of something else weakening your immune system - like aids or age.
weight loss is significant and actually a huge part of it.
So nope. This won’t fly.
I didn’t say it wasn’t serious. But knowing how they like to hide things it’s probably something even more serious.
Not syncopal. Too stiff.
Well you may be correct. Though I have seen people stiff and jerky after a post-or-in-progress blood draw syncope.
Her known affinity to booze may have resulted in liver problems and neuropathy in her feet.
I’ve had walking pnuemonia. You don’t feel like walking much. Your doctor puts you in the hospital or on forced bedrest at home.
Gosh, what a surprise - the WaPo has an inside line straight to another Leftist “specialist/expert”.....
