That's a really high level of infection deaths they are trying to handwave away, there.

I seem to remember that infection rates rise with the Industrialized Diet; high carb, processed food. It was tough to tease out, because people gathering in cities, with poor sanitation, grain diet, and overcrowding all contributing.

I seem to remember surveys of the literature where aboriginal peoples would survive from some pretty heinous wounds, suggesting a much lower susceptibility to infection; compared to say, Industrial Age Europeans, who could (like the discoverer of King Tut's Tomb) die from a shaving cut.
