What really scares me as a *plausible* reality is an Ebola virus mutated with an airborn virus in a lab as a biological weapon released on the public. However that might only lead to an 85% death rate. If an entity really wanted close to 95% eradication of an entire nation, then they could tease the Ebola virus into another strain, and mutate that with an airborn virus, and release these two (or even three) different viruses out at the same time. This would kill millions seemingly overnight, and billions within days, and *could* actually happen.
