Pneumonia isn't to be taken lightly.

Back in the mid 90s I was travelling long haul extensively and picked up a chest infection that I ignored It was one of those trips where you spend a day or two in one place and move on, this went on for 10 days. I ended up in Laramie, Wyoming which is at 7000ft and collapsed over lunch. Doctor, Azithromycin and a few days in bed allowed mt to recover enough to fly home, but it took a week or more to really get over it.

Roll on 25 years in 2016 I was in Delhi and a repeat episode, this time a different antibiotic, based on a culture from coughed up phlegm and a CT scan: the CT scan showed that I had Bronchiectasis, a disease of the small airways caused by repeated lung infections and flying: it cannot be reversed, but can be managed.

So I have enormous sympathy for anyone who can't breath properly, it is frightening.
Take care Steve, see you when we are allowed!
