And this one isn’t strictly a pandemic, but the USA is currently basically carpet bombing parts of Mexico (with their consent) to prevent the northward progression of screwworms—which are even worse than you’re currently imagining.
I’ve probably forgotten something else biological that mother nature is currently doing to indicate her displeasure in the politically driven ignorance they’ve got going on over there.
I recall a story, can’t remember where I read it, where a creator deity demonstrates their displeasure with the leader’s treatment of a downtrodden minority by sending a large number of “plagues”. I remember there was a plague of flies, all the livestock started dying of sudden disease, and an epidemic of boils broke out… Hmm… If only the US were filled with people who believed in the literal interpretation of certain old books…

Not looking forward to the screw worms
You know it’s bad if any foreign country is asking the USA to send military planes…
