I was treated at at another hospital for double pneumonia and was given AZT and another antibiotic which begins with an “L” sorry I can’t think of the name at this time. After 2 days I was sent home as my vitals were good. I seem to be coughing more than usual at this point but I continue to feel well. Thanks for listening
