COVID and a different type of Pneumonia on the Rise!

Posted by covidstinks2023 @covidstinks2023, 2 days ago

Precious Folks, Just to let you know COVID is on the rise again and also a new strain of pneumonia....not related to COVID.

My primary told me a week ago (he was getting over double pneumonia and had been very sick) it was brutal and the only 2 antibiotics that will knock it out are Augmentin & Z-Pac (Azithromycin).....both!

A friend at church asked me to pray for her grandson as he had spiked a high fever. He was diagnosed with pneumonia today and they gave him exactly what my doctor said....Augmentin & Z-Pac.

Please take care of yourselves, mask up if you need too and keep that hand sanitizer close by.

Prayers & Blessings....

I’m not sure where you are, but we have a family friend, approximately 28 years old, who is still hospitalized after a severe experience with pneumonia. She now has a trach and will leave there for rehab. She didn’t have covid or the flu. Has been in hospital for at least a month.

Another family friend, who is in the hospital, now has pneumonia, after her surgery last week. She’s in her 50s.

I’ve had my pneumonia immunization. Won’t that help?

celia16, I am sure my doctor who had double pneumonia took the pnuemonia vaccine. BUT, with that said, he is exposed to a lot of sick people. The little boy I am sure did not get the pneumonia vaccine.

I would think in general the pneumonia vaccine would have worked, but, this is a different type of pneumonia and I don't know if the pneumonia vaccine covers this different type of pneumonia. I truly don't know how to answer this question for you.....I'm sorry.

Praying for you NOT to get it and to stay healthy. Blessings...

Thank you so much! I am concerned with the risks when I go to the gym most days. I hope those there are healthy and wouldn’t come sick. I guess there are risks with most things, though. I may resume mask wear if there is an uptick here.
