He had presided at an outdoor Mass last weekend and attended his general audience Wednesday. But he has been handing off his speeches for an aide to read aloud, saying he was having trouble breathing. Do you think he should stop working to get better? Yes

Sometimes bronchitis can lead to pneumonia, a deeper and far more serious infection of the lungs' air sacs. Doctors may detect pneumonia by listening for a crackling or whistling sound in the lungs, but often other tests are needed including a chest X-ray and pulse oximetry that measures how much oxygen is in the blood. Have you ever had bronchitis? Yes
