Pneumonia can get much worse and bed-rid you for a good while.
I'd say it is definitely something that can ruin her campaign trail and can definitely become a campaign ender. Pneumonia is not this light thing that you can recover so easily from. It's a major issue, it's just not a terminal issue.
I had it twice once as a kid. The first time I was almost 13 with pneumonia. I wasn't quite well enough, but there was a World Series game I wanted to go to and the tickets were bought weeks back. My mother was a nurse. Game was on Sunday. She didn't let me go to church that day, had missed ten days of school by then. Mom then decided my grandfather could take me to the game that afternoon. There were 60,000 people there. We won the world series that day, but I was exposed to many folks with my compromised immune system. I was tossing up my cookies later that night, sick as a dog. Did not go back to school for another two weeks. I'd caught an intestinal virus while at the game, man that virus nearly sucked the life out of me. I was already weakened plenty by the pneumonia. All in all I missed three straight weeks of school plus a bit of the fourth week. I had to get a waiver to pass the 8th grade bc I was short so many days. Fortunately my grades were good enough.
If this sort of thing can happen to q 13 year old, then a 68 year old better look out. Plus the antibiotics were more effective back then. Hillary could be in some dire straits.] with all the people she comes in contact.
She should really convalesce and take no chances.
