Pneumonia is not always fatal if left untreated. In fact, most cases are viral and will get better on their own. However, all types of pneumonia can be fatal if they are severe enough to prevent adequate exchanges of gasses (oxygen going in and carbon dioxide going out). In addition, bacterial pneumonia can spread to the blood and other organs and cause them to fail.
Yes, pneumonia is/can be deadly if you don't get the correct treatment.
Yes pneumonia was deadly in medieval times as most diseases were because there werent any antibiotics back then as there are today.

All infectious disease are not deadly, but some are deadly if not treated promptly
Double pneumonia does not identify which kind of pneumonia you have or which pathogen is the cause -- it is only identifying that you have it bilaterally, or in both lungs. Staph pneumonia identifies the actually pathogen causing the infection, Staphlococcus aureus, which is a very virulent pathogen. Staph pneumonia can be deadly if not treated properly. It may be helpful if you understand that there are many different forms of pneumonia, and that being diagnosed with "pneumonia" itself isn't a death sentence by any means -- it simply means you have inflammation and fluid in the lungs. This inflammation and fluid can be caused by a virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite, and sometimes is just caused by damage to lung tissue without any infectious origin at all. In most cases, pneumonia will clear up with antibiotic therapy, and the people with the highest risk of dying from the disease are very young children, elderly, and people with compromised immune systems.
Yes, it can be without proper treatment to both!

If the pneumonia is bacterial, the patient will be given antibiotics, she says. But, Dr. Sood points out, "most patients with viral pneumonia do not require antibiotics." Instead, they maybe treated with an antiviral medication like oseltamivir (Tamiflu) or remdesivir, depending on the cause of the infection.
Pneumonia is a inflammation in the lungs due to foreign substances entering the respiratory system, such as chemicals or bacteria related substances. A pneumonia ward is a ward where this is treated with anti biotics.
