Well yes and now.
In T2K even the Flu would kill millions just like the Spanish flu of 1916-1919, it circled the world twice and mutated killing MILLIONS!
It would also give you an idea of how to treat those who are sick, what precautions to take. And it is a good idea to know this before you have piles of bodies because that will just result in the disease spreading much faster. Dang you Euopeans didn't you lean anything from the last plague! Sheesh!
