Moving to the country didn't help during the Black Death. People thought they weren't infected (it was incubating) and ended up spreading it farther.

BTW, know you're joking. Just wanted to throw that out there in case anyone reading decides they can run from this thing.

The Native American experience with smallpox is contrary to your assertion.

Native Americans who lived in nomadic tribes had a MUCH lower death rate from smallpox than those who lived in villages - 30% vs 90%+.

30% isn't very good, but it's far better than 99%.
