I disagree -- more and more, they are finding healthy young people with no underlying conditions who nonetheless succumb to H1N1.

NO cheers, unfortunately.

Prayers up.

Pneumonia is well known to be an infection secondary to Influenza. She very well may have developed Pneumococcal Pneumonia, which progresses rapidly (it killed Jim Henson of Muppets fame). There is also a condition called Cytokine Storm, although I haven’t heard whether this is prominent with H1N1 yet.

Also, the CDC has been saying all along that the young are more severely affectecd, unlike the seasonal flu, which traditionally is worse in the elderly.
