Well 650,000 men died in the Civil War, millions die in wars in Africa, millions more starve every single year. So I guess you are concerned about millions of wealthy people dying from a nuclear weapon. You could kill a billion people and that would leave us with 5 billion more.
Today is no different than any other time. Diseases have just been replaced by weapons.
