Over the week, it was revealed that Hillary Clinton had Pneumonia after she near collapse at the 9/11 Memorial Ceremony on Sunday in New York City. Surrounded by many as she watched the names being called out by loved ones and family of those fallen on 9/11/2001, she began to suffer from what was first reported as heat exhaustion; however, on Monday, evidence was produced that she was in fact sick and would spend the next couple days convalescing in her New York home - a state known from having one of the highest deaths per 100,000 people with the illness as per the CDC study for the 2015/2016 Pneumonia/Influenza Season.

Many remember on Labor Day when she gave a speech in Ohio, she had a severe problem with coughing - this has been a pattern throughout several rallies. Furthermore, she's been around countless amounts of people within her campaign staff, Secret Security detail and the media traveling with her. Hence, given that 15 out of 100,000 people in US with the illness have died, it would be mandatory that everyone in her entourage as well as those whom attended her rallies would have to be tested to determine whether they caught or are carrying the bacteria. Because of the vulnerability of senior citizens, many could be affected by the campaign's staff and/or media.
