Viruses Cannot Kill Human Spirits
It was widely believed that there are 60 trillion cells in a human body, but more specifically, it is estimated that there are 37.2 trillion cells in a human body. And each undergoes cell division about 50 times. Further, every cell has the same DNA and genes.
So, two questions arise: (1) Why a man dies before all these trillions of cells die and (2) what gene or DNA generates a human mind?
Life is not a simple mass of cells, and the mind is not a simple phenomenon caused by genes or DNA. Life and the mind are at higher levels than cells and genes.
If a man is shot at his heart, cells of the heart are broken by the bullet but other cells are still alive; yet the man dies and, accordingly, other cells also die. His life is at a higher level than cells, relying on functions of total physical systems in the body.
We don't live as a cell lives, and we don't think as genes order. We live and think according to the spirit that comes from the spiritual world to this material world. In other words, it is useless to find the God in the material world.
However, it is interesting that a great number of cells constitute specific structure, organization, and systems to work and function in harmony with one another. And, these structure, organization, and systems generate their own effective domains. There, a phenomenon called life is generated, and work of the mind is produced. They are based on cells, but they have features not found in cells because of difference of domains. And into these domains, power and an action come from the spiritual world. Then, life and mind work are generated.
Although it is still a mystery why the God uses this material world, including cells, to generate human beings, all we have to do is to understand the word of Christ Jesus that a man does not live only by bread but also by words of the God.
Viruses and other disease germs can attack and kill cells but cannot attack and kill human spirits. But, the God can send the Angel of Death to this world to destroy followers of Satan.
And what if all the mankind become followers of Satan?
Anyway, Satan targets human beings but not human cells.

John 4 King James Version (KJV)
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
