Absolutely devastating. Sam Neill was a legend. Pneumonia is no joke, especially for older folks. Rest easy, mate.

Chloe Martin2026-07-16T22:26:18.000Z

Had pneumonia twice. It's brutal. Get your flu jabs, people. Don't be a martyr.

Exactly! A lot of people don't realise how serious it is.

yeah nah this is crap, why didn't the doctors catch it earlier? feels like they only care after someone famous dies

Ruby Fraser2026-07-17T00:01:18.000Z

no point blaming doctors. pneumonia can hit fast. just gotta look after yourself

Alex Rivera2026-07-17T00:18:18.000Z

mate, they do their best. sometimes it's too late. just bad luck.

Reagan Shaw2026-07-17T00:19:18.000Z

Should we be worried about pneumonia outbreaks? Seems like more and more people are getting it. Anyone else notice this?

Peyton Hall2026-07-17T00:36:18.000Z

pneumonia ain't picky. my nan had it last year and she's fine now. but for someone older or with other issues, it's dangerous.

Riley Scott2026-07-17T01:07:18.000Z

yep, it's bacterial or viral, attacks your lungs. pretty straight forward

Ruby Fraser2026-07-17T00:42:18.000Z

used to think pneumonia was just a bad cold till my mate ended up in ICU. wake up call.

Eva Anderson2026-07-17T00:51:18.000Z

Does the article explain what actually causes pneumonia? Or is it just a tribute thing?

Hayden Kelly2026-07-17T01:04:18.000Z

nah it's a basic infection, the article says. but they go into detail about symptoms and treatment, read it
