1918 - Spanish Flu killed 50-100 million people (hard to count accurately back then especially on the back of a world war) at the time 3-5% of the population, it was a horrible mutation that attacked the young and strong as well as the old and weak.
The chance of that happening is remote in any particularly decade the chance of something worse that would "put us back to the stone age" happening is incredibly unlikely.
Hell Europe survived the black death and by some counts that took out a third of the population of some countries.
It's not sunshine and flowers but it's not a world ender either.
