No its a very valid point and backed up by historical fact, very often after a dosaster like a quake, war, storm, plague etc that devastates a society nearly as many people die AFTER the event as do during the event from shock and an incapability to deal with the sudden change in their lives, they just either lose to will to live or they appear to become more vulnerable to disease and infection even though they are stilll getting food and shelter.
