What... Surely you know that pneumonia can be fatal in anyone but must especially people who are already weak?

It is bloody serious when you are fit and healthy and you get it. I had it and you wouldn’t wish it on anyone

Condolences if anyone you know has it and hope they are okay

I'm a carer for my mom, and I make sure she gets regular checkups, and got the flu injection both of us, to prevent anything more serious happening too her, as she can pick up infections easily. My friend on the other hand. Nearly died,of pneumonia, they were practically telling us he didn't have a chance, and called his parents home from his country. So thankfully his fine again, and getting on with life.nice too have him around, as his like a brother too me.

Elderly are always in the high risk category. Depending on their medical history they may need to be treated at an acute hospital with IV antibiotics etc
