Is pneumonia contagious?
My brother's girlfriend has pneumonia and she came over to our house today, which instantly worried me as I don't want to get sick. I've Googled this already but I wanted to get a personal medical opinion. I know that if you have a healthy immune system, you should be okay, but it is winter here which could stress our immune systems, and to be honest, I'm not even sure if anyone in my family has a cold etc right now. Basically what I'm asking is, is it SAFE to have someone sick with pneumonia in my house? Oh, and also, a couple of people in my household smoke marijuana which I know weakens the immune system.

I have no idea but my father was rushed to hospital twice, last time was 2 days ago he was suffocating.
The hospital told me he should stay away from babies and cancer patients going to chemotherapy so it might be or why else would she say that? But they released my father after he went back into the hospital so if it was contagious why would they do that..if i were you I would stay away from her and if not then try not to breathe in the infection so don't talk to her.
