In the USA it appears to heavily effect their African American population but I'm not sure if that's because of low socioeconomic group, underlying health issues and their terrible healthcare system.

Haven't heard about it reaching remote indigenious communities, but if it did they would be stuffed. From what I know they do not have immune systems that could deal with it, due to being so isolated from the rest of the world, and not having an immune system that has been developed over thousands of years like your typical european has. Introduce illnesses from the outside world and their immune responses wouldn't know what to do.
That is what I have heard anyway. Seems plausible.
