Diseases, definitely. But I'm also thinking of friends and allies who will be shot to death when we pull our support out of places like Ukraine and Taiwan, innocent people trying to make a better life for themselves drowning in the Rio Grande, or committing suicide due to being banned from healthcare when they require lifesaving medications they can no longer get. Not to mention climate-related weather that Trump will slow walk support for, or will make worse through industrial deregulation or weakening of FEMA and NOAA.

The picture looks grim for many going forward.
