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.
