I guess soldiers returning from the war would spread out pretty evenly over the communities, so I could easily see it as a major parameter... Do you know of any place where I can read about this? I really know too little about the epidemiology of infections diseases, and pretty much zero of the history of pandemics :( Good point, but still … how much would troop movements matter compared to widespread travel today?
