Really 2%?

Have not started this yet but looked at it here due to an HBO commercial. Is it really 2% of the population that disappears? Two people out of every one hundred? Would that have even been felt/noticed by most of those remaining? I thought it was a typo but it is written twice. I don't even know 100 people, at least not so that I would be aware that two were missing. I think I am having trouble investing time to watch this if the plot summary makes me question the whole premise. Can someone explain?

Yes weird, 2% left would be more like it, but then again the destruction of society is about 10% of the population vanishing.

I just watched all of it and highly recommend you find a better show. The parts where Justin Theroux's character comes off looking buffoonish are comical and Ann Dowd is well, a nasty woman, but the rest of the show is a mess, full of filler and story lines that go nowhere. It's like the writers asked their tweener kids for ideas. Reminds me of True Detective.
