Walking pneumonia: Not sure what your team means by walking pneumonia? If you are walking then you can likely speed it up a bit but ask your team.

Yes: This generally means they do not consider you at much risk for being hospitalized and should respond to outpatient treatment. Your lungs must work well enough to sustain any exercise over baseline activities. You can push through your exercise routine and back off if you get dizzy/feel faint or realize your body is telling you to slow down.
