She had a mild case of pneumonia that she had been taking antibiotics for so she wasn't even at risk of spreading it. I doubt she thought to herself "I feel perfectly fine, but if I happen to get overheated and pass out that might really cost me".
I've clearly explained my position more than once and how the pattern, not only this incident, makes it concerning but not a big deal breaker for me, sal.
And, I've acknowledged you might be right that her poor judgment to ignore doctor's orders with something as serious as pneumonia was due to thinking she knew better and minimizing the situation.
If your contention now is that you and Hillary seriously don't get the risk of someone ignoring doctor's orders after being diagnosed with pneumonia (especially as a senior with existing medical conditions) because the senior feels fine fine at the moment, I can't help you understand and don't care to try. You don't think Hillary Clinton took a risk and I do, no big deal to me.
And, yeah, I think Hillary Clinton has a tendency to do/say things without considering how they might play out, I could list several examples. In this particular example we're discussing, it's not exactly unpredictable that she might get dehydrated/dizzy/limp under the circumstances and what the consequences might be. It's happened to her in the past, even when she had no viral infection.
