You are right on both counts --

"only" 10% death rate would be staggering;

Our two chances appear to be "slim" and "none."

Such an "event" would be similar in some ways to New Orleans, but on a global scale. This sort of thing used to happen often enough (cholera, plague) that society understood how to cope with the loss; no such comprehension exists within society for most of the world today (exceptions being e.g. some areas in Africa with high AIDS death rates).
