And the big thing that fucks people up is not only the high loss but also the antibiotics slowing or stopping additional reproduction. That keeps the population depressed for an extended period and then you get the shits.
They would probably feel bad for at least a week or two since half of everyone they know also died. On average, of course - maybe some folks were just lucky and no one they knew died so they might feel grateful to the dice rolling entities.
I think is depends on which micro-organisms get destroyed.
The snap didn’t always kill 50% of the people in an area. Sometimes it was just one or two people out of dozens and other times it was all except one person in an area.
How do the forces behind the infinity stones classify and quantify different micro-organisms? would it treat the good kinds and bad kinds equally? Would it distinguish between different kinds of micro-life at all?
I said this farther up in the thread, but in some places the infinity stones killed all except one person in an area full of people, and in other places it was just one or two people that got dusted out of dozens. What if it’s a situation like that inside of people’s gut biomes? Like some people getting all their good bacteria killed and some people only getting their bad bacteria killed?
Yeah 50% loss isn’t servere at all for gut biome loss. If you’ve ever been on antibiotics you’ve likely experienced that or worse.

Basically they’d feel mildly bad for a few days?
Bingo, or you would, I’m a bit more sensitive so I get slightly worse symptoms. But nothing dramatic.
This assumes it hits everybody’s gut biome equally tho. What if it was random distribution? Some people would get totally fucked lol.
Wonder if it would go down the list of people by name or by birth day if ot wasn’t equally distributed

Try a few hours maybe. Antibiotics are bad for that long because they keep your micro biome low for a long time.
I’d honestly expect the result to be about as bad as food poisoning which can lasts 48 hours tops. Hence why I said days.
Or had a wicked hangover
