Yep. Hell yeah.

The lesson here is that Gov'ts will use the thread of pestilence to seize power/control. When the people have finally had enough, they will shake off the fear of pestilence in exchange for liberty. It's not that pestilence is a historic sign that a dynasty has "lost the mandate of heaven". It's that the people have lost all tolerance for tyranny and are willing to deny fear an audience in the midst of obvious crimes against humanity.
