When a person is recovering from pulmonary embolism and still has rales, would they die if they catch influenza?

Influenza: types A and B can cause pneumonia and death,irregardless of the pumonary embolization.

Higher risk: In the scheme of things anyone whose health is impaired will be at a higher risk of complications/death if they acquire influenza. Of the 50,000 or more that die in the US yearly those with health impairment, the old & very young are the most effected.
