One verse I've been struggling with in that context is Amos 3:6. At face value, it does seem to suggest that such things are judgments of God. I've brought up this point in a couple other theology forums and been dismissed as a "Calvinist", even though I'm not one. It seems few people want to examine this verse.

IMO, unless specific reasons to believe one way or the other, claiming that any sort of catastrophe/crisis (in this instance COVID-19) either is or is not is a direct judgement from God is equally foolish. Regardless of what your stated position unless you have something to back it up with, and it turns out you were wrong you'll be left with your foot in your mouth either way.

Could COVID-19 be a judgement from God? Possibly. Does it absolutely have to be?
