How far wrong you are is truly breathtaking! try reading even a middle school-level science text, and you will see that the second law applies only to closed systems. In open systems the addition of energy, for example, is able to allow entropy to decrease. Otherwise, how do you think that an infant develops into an adult with increased complexity.
As for new diseases appearing, that would, in fact, be evolution at work, not some imaginary perversion of thermodynamics.
Yes an open system does allow for decrease of entropy. But you are mistaken, the second law does not only apply to an open system, it applies to ALL systems open or closed. All one needs to do is observe the increase entropy all around us here on Earth.
