I don't know any more than you guys reading here. It seems to be a mutation and viral. Which means it's difficult to kill but it eventually dies on it's own. We seem to have a weaker strain here for some reason. We need a vaccine like for flu which can be a big problem too. Every year we give flu shots to our elderly,and pneumonia shots every 5 years , so I guess this will be next. I'm not so sure this hasn't already been around though. Remember those people in NE Texas this year that died of the "flu". A couple of months ago I was very sick. It hit me hard. I was fine and then achy and fever and the next thing I knew I was congested in my chest. It was a rough week. The same thing happened to my husband and my son and his two boys the next week. We all went on antibiotics immediately but I had never experienced getting so sick so fast and going directly to the lungs. Maybe just the flu but who knows? I think the main thing right now is for people to get early treatment if they get sick instead of waiting to see if they are going to get better.

My in-laws had the same thing a month or so ago. Thanks for your input.
