We're talking about whether a pandemic or world war is worse, but historically we tend to get both. War tends to create unsanitary, chaotic conditions where disease can thrive, while disease tends to destabilize society and break down existing social bonds so that war becomes more likely. IMHO it's likely the grandparent is correct, but only because coronavirus will lead to WW3, not because the disease itself is worse.
