No. It occurred 1.9 billion years ago! 
We would all be in the ocean depths for another 1.5 billion years. Also, "we" are all just cyanocbacteria.
BTW, "A mass extinction occurred around 2 billion years ago, wiping out up to 99.5% of life on Earth..."

1. What is GRB-221009A?
GRB-221009A is a gamma-ray burst, which is a highly energetic explosion that occurs in space.
2. How close was GRB-221009A to the Milky Way?
GRB-221009A was estimated to be about 3.8 billion light years away from the Milky Way.
3. What would happen if GRB-221009A had occurred in the Milky Way?
If GRB-221009A had occurred in the Milky Way, it would have released an immense amount of energy, potentially causing widespread destruction and potentially wiping out all life on Earth.
4. Is it possible for a gamma-ray burst to occur in the Milky Way?
Yes, it is possible for a gamma-ray burst to occur in the Milky Way, although it is rare. The Milky Way has not experienced a gamma-ray burst in recorded history.
5. Can we predict when and where a gamma-ray burst will occur?
Currently, we do not have the technology to predict when and where a gamma-ray burst will occur. However, scientists continue to study these phenomena in hopes of better understanding and potentially predicting them in the future.
