Like I said, I've dealt with it 2 times. The first time was after having the flu/strep throat. (Missed work 2 weeks) all at Christmas time. Second bout for me was over the 4th of July.
I don't know Vince. I've had it twice and agreed it will knock the snot out of you. Pneumonia can be a secondary after something else has weaken the immune system. She got something more serious. IMO
You really need to learn to use a spell checker if you're going to use fancy words like "vitriol". It makes you look dumb and you're not impressing anyone.
