Web MD says it's contagious if people come in contact with droplets from the infected person sneezing or coughing. Also says that a single contact causing contagion isn't the norm. Much more common if you're around the infected person for some length of time.

She's damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.

If she'd refused to get near the girl, they probably would have said she hates children.

Pneumonia is hardly contagious these days in the 1st world. Of course if the Republicans had their way they would willingly spread diseases of all kinds just to cause misery.

Pneumonia can kill. It can take a month or more to recover. If you push too hard while I'll, it can set you back for weeks.

But the real issue is whether it is vital or bacterial. Viral is much harder to treat and takes a sufferer much longer to recover.

contagious 24 hrs after they begin antibiotics. Hillary started antibiotics on Friday so she should be okay. Plus she was there with her grandchildren. I doubt she would be near them if she was still contagious.

The Republicans and the media were hoping to demolish her with this incident, and are beside themselves with rage, grief and high blood pressure over the fact that it doesn't appear to have changed anyone's mind over whom they support for president.
