Extreme conditions? My kid had it in one lung during the summer. It’s an infection. They can be brought one of a million things.

Yah; “pneumonia” just means you have an inflammatory infection inside your lungs. It isn’t just one disease; there are many causes.
OTOH, functioning lungs are kinda important for survival, which is why we treat it as a serious disease. Given modern antibiotics and an otherwise healthy patient, it’s not that big a deal. Most of the death toll is amongst those without access to antibiotics (e.g. kids in the developing world) and the immunocompromised (e.g. the severely unwell elderly, HIV/cancer patients, etc).

You imply the official report is to be trusted to reveal everything that may be wrong with Clinton.
Really?

I’ll take the experts’ word that the two of them are largely healthy, but I’m not sure about ‘fit to serve as president.’

My otherwise fairly healthy partner got walking pneumonia at the end of writing his dissertation in his early 30’s. Yes, I’m sure it was a result of working too hard and being under stress so sure it had a cause but it wasn’t a serious cause. He got some antibiotics, barely took off time at work and recovered just fine.
My grandmother had serious pneumonia when she was a 12 year old girl and it nearly killed her but there was no particular apparent cause, just a cold or flu that escalated.
Sometimes bacteria gets in your lungs.

During the primary, they (as in, Clinton and her team) have systematically manipulated facts and outright lied to secure the nomination.
Why should it be any different now?

I was hospitalized in an oxygen tent when I was 5 or 6. Serious stuff, but I was too young to understand. I kept trying to sneak out at night.

My wife just got over pneumonia, I had it years ago. It’s a surprisingly common development from a chest infection, and your conclusion is not even remotely justified.

Yes.
Really.
And when Trump releases his tax records, I’ll trust them, too.

Looks more like over acting to me.
An adult relative of mine had ‘walking pneumonia’. After a chest x-ray, they were told there was no need for treatment, and it would gradually clear up. It did.

It’s too bad that all the press coverage about these folks’ medical history wasn’t available in earlier times. 'Cuz then some other presidents would have been exposed as unfit for presidency.
You know the ones.

That whole plotline in The West Wing was one of the best “slow-burners” they ever did. (Um, sorry, spoilers I guess!)
