Is pneumonia contagious?

ABSOLUTELY... Yes. It is.
Many hospital patients, including myself, enter a hospital with one particular problem and often leave the hospital, only to return later with the pneumonia that they breathed in from inside the hospital. That is very common. Once you get pneumonia you will be susceptible to getting pneumonia every year when pneumonia runs rampant. Protect your lungs from excessive cold air with a scarf and remember that others who are near you can become ill with pneumonia. Especially the elderly.

My daughter has a really bad case of pneumonia at the moment and has had a fever for over 5 days. It turns out health insurance plan was merely a discount plan and wouldn't cover any of the procedures in the hospital. As we were at the end of the month an agent from East Coast Health Insurance (http://echealthinsurance.com) was able to get us a great health plan with Blue Cross that took effect within 2 days allowing us to get her the treatment she needed. Now my wife and I both have the flu (possibliy pneumonia) but have all the coverage we would need. I think the best number to reach ECHealth is 888-803-5917.
