Disease is the absence of health. Although many diseases still have the potential to end our life we have found ways to combat them and avoid the deadly pandemics of the past. History tells us between 75 and 200 million people died in Europe during the middle years of the 14th century. It took just six years to sweep across the continent and reduce the population by at least 1/3. Those who survived were emotionally and financially destroyed.
Because of modern medicine and a clearer understanding of the how and why of epidemics we are at much less risk of a world-wide deadly pathogen pandemic. We can make our lives safer by building stronger buildings and safer cars; and we can rely on careful procedures to reduce our risk of premature death. Here in America we have always been relatively safe from most diseases and accidents but today we find ourselves threatened by the worst disease in human history; the disease of Socialism.
It is clear that some of the illegal aliens who are sneaking into our country are bringing deadly diseases...

Sorry, but “the greatest disease of all” is egalitarianism as it is a denial of the facts of history; i.e. someone will govern and hence be “The Elite.”
Not entirely. The "stuff" was mostly still there, but with 1/3 fewer people to share it. More or less by definition, this means a significant average bump in the average assets owned by the survivors.
For instance, the surviving peasants concentrated on the most fertile land, and therefore their average production increased.
OTOH, reduced demand decreases the value of many though probably not all of those assets.
The worst Disease in human history; is the disease of Liberalism/Socialism.
Life is a terminal illness.
