Nuclear war could kill hundreds of millions in a few hours. Why are you less concerned?

I think mutually assured destruction works well enough to prevent all out nuclear war between multiple nuclear armed states. Riskiest scenario there is a nuclear state attacking a non-nuclear state that cannot retaliate in kind.

With a pandemic there's no one to negotiate with to come to an armistice.

Unless there's a miscalculation. Cuba was a very close shave.

With a nuclear war there'd be no negotiations either.
