That makes sense. Because I picture most of the deaths happening in Asia (as if the historical 1957-58 flu pandemic) These trends would be strongest in Asia. But with two-fifths of humanity dying, no place would be untouched.

Public Health would be more of a thing. The states might have adopted Health Care on the single payer model as a reaction.
