it's cat scratch fever.
So which one is it? I just saw an article saying her doctor diagnosed her with pnumonea, lethal at her age, hillary saying the coughing is just allergies, and her team saying its the heat.
It's not necessarily lethal at her age but she should probably be in the hospital on IV antibiotics instead of campaigning.
All three options kind of fit together. It could have started as allergies but mucous from the sinuses can find it's way into the respiratory system and cause an infection. That explains the pneumonia; and obviously, even a young healthy person could struggle in the heat if they have pneumonia.
This isn't necessarily true.
If the possible types of pneumonia she could have are
1) pneumococcal
2) atypical
3) aspiration
1 and 2 are most likely and are typically covered with current antibiotics such as levofloxacin and arithromycin
3 is highly unlikely but would be treated much differently
Not all pneumonias require hospitalization. That is determined by patient status such as an inability to breathe which can be assessed with a pulse oximetry device. As long as she is in no immediate danger and has a functioning gastrointestinal tract (looking at how fat she is there is no question about that) she can be treated with oral antibiotics as they have great oral bioavailability.
The larger issue is this sudden diagnosis. You would think an enterprising young reporter would ask the question "when did Crooked ILLary take time out of her schedule to see a doctor?
You see pneumonia isn't something you diagnose over the phone or with telepathy. A standard differential includes:
1) physical particularly listening to the lungs
2) blood and urine cultures
3) chest x ray
This can take upwards of two hours. When in her schedule did she have this done?
If the doctor told her to rest, why didn't she? Why did she continue to campaign?
This whole thing is a lie to cover up what is really wrong with her
Closely look at the video. She didn't stumble. Before the van pulls up, she is being propped up by an aid and looks visibly unsteady. When the van pulls up and they go to move she didn't stumble. She couldn't move and those helping her were caught off guard by suddenly handling dead weight and they were thrown off balance and fell forward.
I know Rancid and KKKhristiefan will believe anything that comes out of her campaign but they are being lied to. You would think if the two of them really cared about Crooked ILLary they would want the truth to come out.

Pneumonia is a secondary condition most of the time.
But it represents an escalation to a dangerous state and is typically cited as cause of death where another condition takes a bad turn.
If they're admitting it, that's serious.
I think they were forced to admit it, finally. That they admitted doesn't say anything conclusive about other comorbidities.
Until there's an actual medical report all you can do is speculate.
It's the first shred of honesty surrounding this.
We're she to follow dr orders she would likely be fine in a few weeks time. But they tried dodging and hiding instead. It's understandable but still a dangerous game at her age and dishonest to the public.
If it's just pneumonia she'll likely be fine.
Politically, even 'just pneumonia' could cost her the election though. The numbers were tightening up even before this.
I remember my entire office being sent home when a particularly nasty strain of flu tore through Southern California. My own case progressed from the flu, to bronchitis to "walking pneumonia". I could walk, but I didn't want to. I guess hillary must have the "staggering and collapsing pneumonia", and the only treatment is to head straight for her daughter's apartment.
I had it once. I wasn't bed ridden but I was off my game and unable to go to work for about three weeks. The worst thing was the cough....it was like the cough from hell lol.
I coughed for weeks even after I got better. But I got a chest X-Ray, oral antibiotics, cough medicine and that was it.
