What if the human population were wiped out by a worldwide disease?

Its possible that a disease might possibly wipe out an entire section of the world, causing widespread panic. An example of this can be a plague, virus, really anything that causes sickness and can spread easily through a large population. Take for example, the Black Plague, It killed 30-60 percent of Europe reduceing the population in the 1400s to 350-375 million. It then took 150 years to recover. Imagine if 50 percent of North America were wiped out, how long do you think it would take to get back to its original population?
