    I don't think the New York Post would be the outlet to pursue this one.

    We also still don't know what the "rare" pneumonia was/is or what caused it.

    Bacterial?
    Viral?
    Fungal?
    Aspiration?

    The Enquirer would, except that Pecker is in a vise.

    A brief informal survey over the last few days shows that I am the only one among my friends and family members who has heard this story.

    You’d think any doctor who was treating her would *demand* to be allowed to speak on the record by the family. He’d probably get more publicity in having sound bites out there than he has in his entire medical career.

    Well, there you DO get into HIPAA considerations. Doctors cannot publicly comment on the condition of patients without consent.
    But Retton's daughters have to be somewhat aware this whole thing is making them look pretty bad-

    It's 2023. Self-awareness is so 2003.

    I've not seen one reference to the story on national newscasts.

    She resided in a mansion six months ago. Fact! Living in a factual, in a factual, in a factual
