Russia would not unleash all their nukes on the US, unless they want to be "pacified" by China afterwards. It would not bomb China and the US at the same time, unless they want to be the target of both of them, and maybe the UK and France too.
The US answer to a Russian or Chinese attack would not be an all-out nukefest, because nukes will continue to be needed for deterrence.
The far more likely nuclear war scenario is one where there is a limited initial engagement. After which, people from major metropolitan areas will move away, or prepare for rapid evacuation if the need comes.
I'd venture to say that a nuclear war (including strategic nukes exchanges) would result in fewer deaths worldwide than Covid-19.
Nuclear war does not result in self-annihilation.
