It's nothing new. Western culture advocates love the "blame game".
Covid 19 probably has human hands to blame, not only for its spread, but for its origin.
However, the problem with "blame" is that human beings are horribly inefficient at blaming a guilty party. It's much more convenient to blame someone who is innocent.
Consider an occupied country in which guerillas ambush the occupiers outside a town. The occupation force then sends a company to the town to find whomever committed the atrocity. Information is gathered as though it is all "honest". Not to mention, if you ambush someone and know there are relatives of that person ready to avenge the ambush, you're going to immediately go at least 40 miles away.
Take the Covid 19. With the human hands that are at fault, there still is the supernatural aspect of a God punishing people, or of a God abandoning people, or of a God being blocked from helping by virtue of people feeding and worshiping evil angels and demons to allow them to be the "stewards".
Fundamentalists and materialists each have the same dilemma. Both are the same, really, because both are proven to be illogical. To blame a good God or an indifferent Nature for laws of Physics that are definitively sadistic, entropic, and contrived for decay is something that is impossible in Logic and Math. So, truly, you have the same mentality for both fundamentalists and materialists. And it is further proof of principalities working upon them.
When we face up to this, we realize that thinking we know who to "blame" for events is ridiculous in most cases. There are some obvious cases. The serial killer, the Manson, certain country leaders, the gang member. Usually, though, information is rarely available, and rarely authentic.
I don't know if Doyle, when he wrote the Sherlock stories, intended it to be the case, but he caused more human misery and atrocities in the past century than any other human, by virtue of the "false accusation". It's amazing how many people believe they are "Sherlock Holmes", and the bizarre reasoning they come up with for their accusations of others. I've seen it, and it's never based on reality, and always based on "convenience".
That's Western culture.
To someone who is more agnostic, more dualist, more realistic, like myself, the "blame game" is doomed to failure.
For myself, I believe the good God is so distant because of so many demon possessed souls keeping him away, and instead praising evil angels, giving them authority. I'm no different. Like the rest of you, I have inadvertently made curses on others, even when I mean to give blessings. But it's important to note that the one we call "Jesus", did not take health from someone else to cure a leper. Instead, he had abundance of "cure" and no "disease".
When we use words like "karma", we're giving evil angels authority, for example. Okay, some people use the word in a proper context, and not to cause one person to fail, judging a person who is cursed by others. But most people use the word in its modern context, to justify and rationalize curses.
With all the praise going to evil angels, how much authority does the good God have?
Are we being punished? More accurately, we are out of sight from the good God, and it's because of the "blame game", because we think we're Sherlock Holmes, and think "gut feeling" is anything but demon possession.
