The current situation is not the first Pandemic the world has ever seen. In the late 1340's and early 1350's, the black death was very popular. But not everywhere.
In my own hometown of Krakow, we were virtually exempt from it. Ditto, BTW, if the Italians over in Milan.
The key is that we Poles traditionally wash our hands after using the can.
We are getting the same kind of map in the current situation. A lot of deaths in places like New York City where the people don't think cleanliness is important and in the red areas where there virtually no death because we do the right thing.

The Black Death's utter destruction of 14th-century Europe, in one scary GIF
It spread across Europe in just six years — and wiped out 60 percent of the European population.
