That "perspective" is nonsense. Wars cost more than diseases. They are not comparable. You might as well compare the cost of an public roads with the cost of healthcare. No point there. World War I cost the US $26 Billion. Congress aproved $1 million in special funding for the 1918 flu in 1918. What conclusion can one draw from that given the losses from each?
During World War II US debt rose to greater than it's entire GDP.
