Hillary Clinton is Done: part 3

[Nova Land]

All the elderly cases of pneumonia I hear about are during winter and 'flu/cold season, or in spring in the height of hayfever.

That's a good illustration of the dangers of going by assumptions and impressions. Our impressions of what we've heard or seen are often wrong, especially if it's our impression of something we weren't especially focused on at the time so weren't making any type of careful and systematic study.

I'm not particularly knowledgeable about pneumonia either. I haven't known that many people who had it (as far as I was aware) so have very little personal knowledge of what times of year one is most likely or unlikely to get it.

So when I read your post I got curious and looked it up. Here's what a quick search of summer pneumonia turned up:

Walking pneumonia is a non-medical term to describe a mild case of pneumonia. It can also be called atypical pneumonia because the disease is different from more serious cases of pneumonia caused by typical bacteria...

Lots of things can cause pneumonia, including:

Bacteria, including mycoplasma
Viruses
Fungi
Other infectious agents
Chemicals
Inhaled food

...

People who have walking pneumonia are seldom confined to bed or need to be hospitalized. Some may even feel well enough go to work and carry on with other regular routines, just as they might with a cold...

Anyone at any age can get walking pneumonia...

People who live and work in crowded places, such as schools, homeless shelters, and prisons have a higher risk of contracting the disease...

Cases of walking pneumonia are most common in the late summer and fall.

Probably been stated somewhere, but it only just occurred to me that it's high summer in the NH - how the hell does someone get pneumonia at that time of year?

What a ridiculous post from Dr The Atheist. The most cursory research will show that pneumonia can be caught at any time of the year. I've had it three times. Each at different times of the year. "I hear"? Laughable.

Well, if that isn't an expert opinion, I don't know what is.

Pneumonia (noo-mo-nyah) is an infection of the lungs. There are more than 3 million US cases per year. Many germs, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, can cause pneumonia. Spreads by airborne droplets and usual recovery ranges from a few days to weeks.

 

[catsmate]

Yeah, right. Like I have never before mentioned Crooked Hillary's 30-year crime spree.

Oh you've mentioned it all right; incessantly in fact. What you and the other Trumpettes have utterly failed to do is support your allegations with evidence.

 

[catsmate]

What is your obsession with adult diapers?

Who knows...

The salient point is Clinton got sick at the worst possible time, there's video of her almost collapsing, and Trump hasn't gotten sick and there's no video of him collapsing. This has been a horrible month for Clinton.

No it's autumn up here with winter in the horizon.

Is this a serious post?

Killary's new book sold 2912 copies in the first week and has 83% 1-star ratings on amazon.

What a horrible book. I got brain damage after 4 pages and lost my shoe

It is indeed.

Can you point to where I made any assumptions?

So when I read your post I got curious and looked it up. Here's what a quick search of summer pneumonia turned up:

Never even heard of it.

I've been responsible for up to 300 employees at a time and the only time I ever saw pneumonia used as a sick leave were in old buggers in winter.

Kiwis must be tougher.

What a ridiculous post from Dr The Atheist.

Asking a question is ridiculous?

Seemed to work ok - I've actually learned something: people get pneumonia more often than I was aware.

You're a funny old chap.

I've had it three times. Each at different times of the year. "I hear"? Laughable.

Mea maxima culpa.

You're a smoker.

I wasn't counting smokers, because they're sick all the time and I wouldn't employ one. I'm sure smokers catch pneumonia all the time.

Is Hillary a smoker? Is that what you're trying to say?

If not, your personal experience as a smoker has no relevance to Hillary at all.

Is this a serious post?

Yes it was, is there a problem with it?

The question's been answered, so I'll ask another.

Given that Hillary recently collapsed through dehydration after a stomach virus and has now collapsed through a bout of pneumonia (calling it walking pneumonia when she had to be helped to walk is quite funny!) aren't concerns over her health genuine?

Indeed. One can never discount the effect of chance on history.

It would have been worse had it happened six weeks later. In a week and a day it'll probably all be forgotten in the face of a new frickin' disaster.

They might not fare so well in New York's air. What kind of district do you live in?

Kiwis do seem, in the main, to be pretty tough. I am thinking in particular of the All Blacks. I hope to live to see Wales beat them but I'm not optimistic.

Apart from air quality another difference in New York and on the campaign trail is the sheer number of strangers one shares air with every day. Chest infections become much more common, and any chest infection can become pneumonia.

It's a bit late now. This is what Vice-Presidents are for.

The debates will dominate everything. You're right. It was actually better that it happened to her now than right before the election.

Auckland city. Pretty clean air most of the time. All our industry moved to China.

Yeah, I'd get that off your bucket list!

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

...Yes it was, is there a problem with it?

Yes, there's a problem. It lacks a basic understanding of the germ theory. I'm surprised you don't know that.

It wasn't a "stomach virus" and no, I'm not the least bit concerned Clinton fainted standing for a long period of time in the heat. The fact she may have also been suffering secondary pneumonia at the same time makes it even less concerning.

Hillary's healthy as a horse -- and nearly the size of one, too!

Notice that Bill is texting one of his bimbos as Hillary waddles off.
