I'm just asking because I am curious. If someone's immune system is so weak they can die of a common "harmless" bacteria, would they probably have died of something else anyway? We are surrounded by and filled with millions of bacteria at all times.



Hospitals are somewhat controlled environments and they try to account for every pathogen they expect to find. But they didn't expect a biological attack with an airborne bacteria.
