Default COVID-19: a divine curse?

Some segments of divine religions have found convenient means to escape the realities such as COVID-19 by dubbing it as the divine curse on humanity. It is such a segment that disregards the precautionary measures resultantly it wreaked havoc and the coronavirus cases multiplied within no time. In addition, many religio-political leaders whose videos were doing rounds were provoking their followers under solemn pledge that they would not allow the mosques to be deserted and will offer prayers. They also rubbished the practice as conspiracy. These both segments need a serious soul-searching. Firstly, if it is not a divine curse. It is a nature occurrence that science has described as transmitted from animals to humans and it is minute creature called ‘virus’ that is highly contagious if precautions are not taken, it will take a heavy toll on human beings. Moreover, if it was curse, then certainly it would have infected/damaged only the cursed persons. Nevertheless, this virus does not discriminate between cursed or pious, Muslim or a non-Muslim, male or female, etc. Secondly, it is not a conspiracy against Muslims at all as it has affected non-Muslims and Muslims on equal footing. Corona-virus has no eyes, no religion, no emotions, and thus it does not discriminate. May sanity prevails and we pay more attention towards attaining modern scientific knowledge. Otherwise, we are to parish and will be attributing it to the conspiracies and divine punishments for our satisfaction.
