Antibiotics? Probably not in this case, as it's a virus. Those things don't interact much with antibiotics.

Odds of a global pandemic? Usually it doesn't happen. Sometimes, it does (like after WW1). The real problem is that population densities are always getting higher, both for the animals and the humans, and high population densities are more vulnerable to diseases.
