Hillary Clinton

Trump is 70, so they're both getting on a bit...

Peaseblossom
But you are going to vote for her because.... you don't like Donald Trump?
Don't worry, I don't think the majority on here will vote for Hillary Clinton.
They won't be voting for Donald Trump either.
Because we are not American.

obieone I heard that they were using a body double for Hillary, particularly the one after her collapse when she appeared again outside her daughter's flat all bright and breezy.
Someone has noticed a few physical differences between the two, and the apparent 'double' always wears sunglasses.

Lewlew that is interesting that media intrusion is the reason that there is a dearth of candidates in a country with a huge population.

I have often thought 'is this the best that America can produce?'

Jalima You are completely right. But I guess 'sane' people don't want their lives put under a microscope. Colin Powell would have been a very electable candidate vs GWBush, but his wife absolutely did not want to be under that kind of media scrutiny.

I guess it's like why some women do not want to be Prince Harry's wife here, because of the 'fishbowl' life they'd be leading.

Dr Ted Noel gives his viewpoint on YouTube. It is worth a look as there seems to have been some sort of blackout of information regarding this.

If I am correct I believe Churchill was 77 the second time he was Prime Minister and had all ready had pneumonia several times as well as a stroke. If Hillary were a man this would not be an issue I believe.

Don't get it myself - the woman has a bit of a chest infection, as any of us might, and suddenly she is regarded as too ill to vote for.

And Trump has a NARCISSTIC personality. You can't cure that with antibiotics.

There is a third candidate that is very interesting but the way our system is set up with the electoral college he could never win. We need a better system I think .

Who is that Rhinestone? I can remember many years ago chatting to an American in Ireland who told us that this amazing man called Obama would be president one day . I also don't know much about Bernie Sanders [sp]who sounds like a really good guy.

The last American president to die of pneumonia was William Henry Harrison.
He was 68 and was in office for 32 days in 1841.

I think medicine has improved since then.

But People can still die of pneumonia! I knew someone whp fid, in the late 1980s. There must be different sorts.

Fingers crossed for Hillary Clinton, then, polly.

She seemed much better when I saw her on the news last night. She's not a thin woman so she's got something to fall back on.

I was shocked to see people talking about her 'insatiable ambition'. No one would ever describe a man in those terms.

America is in turmoil anyway and Trump will make things far worse

There is more than one type of pneumonia. The word covers lung infections of several kinds and degrees of severity.

Don't we oldies get a jab against pneumonia? Or is that another something different? Pneumococcal something. I had it, whatever it was.

It doesn't cover all the types.

I guess she's had the jab and would have had it worse without it. (50-70% effective)

The fact that hat she got it at all is the thing. She must be run down from the pressure and the physical demands. Still, the brain is the important thing, and hers is better than Trump's!

From NHS Choices

"Both types of pneumococcal vaccine encourage your body to produce antibodies against pneumococcal bacteria. Antibodies are proteins produced by the body to neutralise or destroy disease-carrying organisms and toxins. They protect you from becoming ill if you are infected with the bacteria.
More than 90 different strains of the pneumococcal bacterium have been identified, though only 8 to 10 of them cause the most serious infections.
The childhood vaccine (PCV) protects against 13 strains of the pneumococcal bacterium, while the adult vaccine (PPV) protects against 23 strains.
The pneumococcal vaccine is thought to be around 50-70% effective at preventing pneumococcal disease.
Both the PPV and the PCV are inactivated or "killed" vaccines and do not contain any live organisms. They cannot cause the disease against which they protect."

And?

You confused again jingl ??

I live my life that way.

Couldn't see how the paragraph took us forward.

I started posting after Elegran's' post jingl and before you slipped in your words of wisdom. It takes me quite a while these days to get myself into gear and then the iPad plays up.

I didn't realise that GN threads had to move forward anyway as most of them seem to go round in circles
