Rather than developing pneumonia "overnight", it is most likely that the lung infection had already started in the days before the diagnosis. Many people, especially young or active people, have "walking pneumonia" in which they do not feel especially sick until they are really, really sick. In elderly people or persons who are bedridden and cannot turn themselves from side to side, or when the cough reflex is depressed, pneumonia can develop very quickly.
