This is what happened with Spanish flu, but people lived with it, and each year it got less deadly, and it still persists to this day as Influenza A [1].
Personally I assume if it's more than a 6-month ordeal people would accept the losses rather than fundamentally changing the economy as we know it.

- ianai 7y agoThe Spanish Flu is estimated to have killed around 50 million people worldwide (google) in 1918 when the world population was 1.9 billion. Just linearly that would be around 200 million today.
