No I don’t think so.  Our federal government would be bankrupt and would default on their obligations, but if they held to their constitutional limits it would still be there.  Many state governments would also be bankrupt but would still exist, and would still be united, for some of the people survive in your proposed scenario.

 

The United States would still be united with half our current population.

 

Presumably the rest of the world would lose half their populations as well, for viruses do not respect boundaries or borders, as we have seen.
