Yeah, today we have the "natural" cosmic radiation, but its energy is not deadly enough through our atmosphere. However they say people that often travelling in the higher parts of the atmosphere are more exposed and could in worst case develop cancer. Like pilots.
With a big and close supernova the energy would be multiplied with zillions, and no complex lifeforms would survive. At least not with the technology we have today.
