I suppose the probability of the worst NOT happening are no worse than the odds surrounding the improbable set of events that led to my individual existence on this earth in the first place.
Thinking of human society itself rather than of my own individual existence - If some complete madman came forward with a lethal supervirus I would tend not to believe his assertion that it would kill "everybody on earth". Biology favours a survival rate, however small. I hope the survivors would put society back together somehow. I hope that they would remember us in some way; maybe even take the good parts and leave the bad parts.
