I can’t see how a major health threat affects me spiritually other then the suffering people go through causes my heart to grieve for them. The media is I think is spreading a sense of panic, but the believer knows God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7. What’s the old saying? “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” Maintaining good hand washing will keep bugs out of our mouth. I maybe wrong and some will chastise me for saying, I believe we are all dead now, dead to sin and won’t really start living until we meet the Lord then we will never die. We are redeemed, bought with a price, the sin of rejecting Jesus as Lord remains for those who don’t believe.
