Nurgle isn't about disease itself, but more of the very concept of a perversion of the neverending cycle of life, the idea of rot and decay without passing, disease without end. By embracing the rot, they conquer death itself, but in perverting it, they reject the cycle and change that comes with it, which is why they are naturally opposed to Tzeetch.

Yeah it's about stagnation and, in a way, acceptance. Relishing in the eternal rot. You will contract every disease imaginable and become a disgusting, foul abomination, but you will learn to love it, that's one of Nurgle's promises. I don't like Nurgle because all the body horror stuff is too icky for me but followers of Nurgle are some of the few people in Warhammer who usually seem like they're having a good time.
