“Young and healthy people develop walking pneumonia.”
And if Clinton was young and healthy it woudln’t be an issue. She’s old and decrepit so even if she actually has pneumonia - and i’m not buying it - it is still a very serious medical issue. It was what finally took my 85 year old father when he was hospitalized for a stroke, as it led to congestive heart failure. And I’ve seen people much younger than that succumb to pneumonia.
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.
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.
