"Is it just possible that if there is a god..."
Highly unlikely, highly improbable.
However if there is or ever was, and he she or it has anything approximating intelligent thought, then this "god" would probably find these followers cringe worthy and embarrassing.
The fact it has not decried them only furthers the likelihood that it non-existent.

Not really, no. Science and research can pretty much tell you it's because viruses develop in over crowded, unsanitary conditions. It can also tell you that such things do mutate. This is just one of those mutated, flu related virus that got out of control because people got stupid... again. It will keep happening as long as people don't take care of themselves and each other. That really has nothing to do with any deity.

Sounds just like trump, he’d like to think he’s a god.. It would be an interesting switch to ask your question to a religious person; my problem is, I avoid them like the plague

Well fuck. Did they leave anybody out?!
If I really possessed LGBT ‍ powers that right wingnuts think I have, a hurricane Beth would have washed them away years ago.
Paranoia and fear always add up to crazy. Sigh.

So, in this hypothesis, god sent a virus to prevent the reelection of the dude that he allowed to get elected in the first place? While killing a bunch of people along the way? In other countries too?

Seems an inelegant plan.

Doubt it!
