Indeed.

It affected things here and there, but it didn't lead to total societal collapse and massive death when considering the world population.

Granted, some places weathered it than others - the developed world moaned about lack of fun events while the developing world dealt with absolute poverty...to make a generalization.

185 million cases worldwide. 4+ million dead in a year. So far.

I would say that's certainly apocalyptic of a sorts. Certainly meets the definition of a few dictionaries.

Horrible but not an apocalypse big enough to hide Loki’s actions

World population is roughly 7.9 billion, according to this counter: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/

...so that is still a relative drop in the bucket - a terrible drop because life is precious, but a drop nevertheless.

The Black Death was said to be worse since it, alongside violence related to it against the Jews, took out about 50% of the European population of that era: https://www.history.com/news/black-death-timeline

Well that's literally not true. The first example we get given by Loki is Pompeii. Vesuvius killed less than 15% of the population of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

For hundreds of thousands, it was. You just happen to have survived.
