That's true, it could have been just part of a mission, like the weeper horde in House of Pleasure. But now I understand why the lunatics got cut during development: where else could they be present in the game? Or perhaps the weepers replaced them completely. It is more common to see sick people in times of plague than lunatics running loose.
