While this is good for some sort of movie or book plot, it isn’t realistic. Remember humans and species we evolved from were around a lot longer than 40,000 years. We’ve encountered these microbes (or their cousins) before and will be able to handle them just fine. Especially because we have an evolutionary advantage over them, they don’t know all the new tricks.
The ones to really be scared of are the ones that have become resistant to all of the antibiotics we have thrown at them. Those super bugs can kick our asses.

Speaking from the evolutionary perspective, we’ve dealt with influenza successfully. I’m still glad I wasn’t there to watch us win, though.
