Yeah. My grandma was born just after the Rash first started to spread, and she used to share stories from her parents about how things were then. Apparently a lot of people thought it really was the apocalypse.
There's only five countries left in the Known World, where there used to be hundreds before. And most of the survivors were on an island nation that closed its borders before the infection could get in. Finland only has about 10,000 people today, and it had seven million or so before.
[Hence why Tuuri was so happy to find someone who spoke Finnish.]
