Each bacteria is an individual living organism. So I’m guessing that (within this framework) the humans disappeared, but only ~50% (it would average out to 50% across the entire population) of their gut biome (or I guess any other living organism within them) disappeared.
And as such, in people who did not disappear, ~50% (on avg) of their gut biome also disappeared.

The math checks out…
Yes I agree with this analysis
Inside your body are 2-3 times more cells that contain a bacteria’s DNA than your own DNA cells, silently living in symbiosis with your body.
In fact your body can’t live without those bacteria as they perform essential functions.
So the real question is, where does the you in “you” really start?
