Where will it land?

'when you think of, you know , your long history of IV, and TB, what do you see COVID-19 looking like in the lineup of infectious diseases? Is it going to be our worst killer now? Where will it land?'


-- does 'lineup ' mean 'list' here?

-- does 'Where will it land?' mean 'What will it develop into? How would you see the future of COVID-19'?

I think I can understand what the text means, but it's just that I don't find corresponding explanation in the dictionary. eg for 'land',


'v.intr.

1.a. To come to shore: landed against the current with great difficulty.b. To disembark: landed at a crowded dock.2. To descend toward and settle onto the ground or another surface: The helicopter has landed.3. Informal To arrive in a place or condition: landed at the theater too late for the opening curtain; landed in trouble for being late.4. To come to rest in a certain way or place: slipped and landed on his shoulder.
