AuscandocWalking Pneumonia on the rise in BC https://cheknews.ca/walking-pneumonia-on-the-rise-in-bc-1222823/ “BC Centre for Disease Control #BCCDC says this year it’s seeing a return of a variant of pneumonia that affects young people.
“It’s called #walkingpneumonia because on average it’s not very serious. People can have a lot of coughing and a lot of symptoms but in terms of being life-threatening it tends not to be, and it tends to go away on its own,”
The specific organism is called #Mycoplasma Pneumonia”
Denis - The COVID info guy -🇯🇵Japan: Mycoplasma pneumonia cases at 10-year high, 57 times higher than same period last year; infections may be spreading after COVID-19 pandemic.

LorraineHospitals have never been a favorite but had never thought much about them until my late dad had a #kidneyTransplant circa 2014? I think I was #researching #walkingPneumonia convinced dear old papa had it, when I came across #candidaAuris as I recall being careful to touch nothing
After that hospitals really freaked me out & I was intent on never landing myself in one
