Yup. It's just that that 3% happened to be a shltload of people.
I read an interesting study some years ago done on the survivors of that epidemic and their high rate of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. 4 of my 5 maternal uncles survived it and all died with Alz/Park combinations late in life. The fifth was born after the epidemic and had neither. My mother missed it as well and she was the only one of her sisters who didn't have Alzheimer's. Curious.
