Very interesting. Yeah, the world will be 20 years out before the full understanding of even the outline of the medicine, sociology, demographics, etc is available. It will be another 20 before the historians have it fully figured out.

One truism of any war (and this is another kind of world war) is that medicine makes great leaps forward. It is a weirdly positive outcome of combat (think artificial limbs and penicillin). Epidemiology will make vast leaps of knowledge now which, in the long run, will probably save many millions more people over the next century. long after the bunker baby is gone and is only the purview of comedy.
