that’s right. run for the hills, all ye fearful of the ‘mysterious’ plague...
as for me and mine, we don’t panic based on a few cases of ‘walking pneumonia’ which has been common among kids and adults for as long as i can remember this time of year. in grade school 50 years ago, i remember most of us got it and a few were out with it for two weeks. anyway, most people and kids just shrug it off or don’t even know they had it.
yes you need to get it treated with some antibiotic if it gets out of hand, as it will for a few.
Mycoplasma pneumonia is more widely known as walking pneumonia
Seems like it appeared every year around here when the kids were in school
