First of all, the trait "Pneumonic" trait should be "Pneumonic Plague" (Devs please read). Then it should be more powerful than the "Bubonic Plague" trait, since the Pneumonic Plague attacks lungs.
Why the trait "Pneumonic" is less powerful than "Bubonic Plague" one ?

As far as I'm aware, the trait Pneumonic doesn't refer to the pneumonic plague. It refers to plain-old, generic pneumonia.
I am sorry, but this is just plain wrong.
Pneumonic inidicates someone who has Pneumonia, a completely different disease from Bubonic Plague..
Well, not exactly.
Pneumonia is not itself really a disease, but inflammation of the lungs caused by some other disease like bubonic plague (bacterial), SARS (a virus), malaria (a parasite), etc. Many diseases can cause pneumonia.
But the OP is clearly a little confused.
I think the developers considers "Pneumonic" only a really strong flu.
So, weaker than bubonic plague.
So, weaker than bubonic plague.
If I remember correctly, pneumonia can even happen without a disease, simply from the acumulation of water in the lungs
Well I stand corrected - however, whatever "Pneumonic" is meant to represent in game, it's something completely different from Pneumonic plague
Also OP, it's okey to make mistakes, but a quick search would probably have cleared this one up xD
