Reconsider
According to the UN, "The repercussions of the pandemic are causing more harm to children than the disease itself." Lockdowns and school closures are killing more than 10,000 additional children every month. And not just children. another study estimates that tens of thousands of adults are dying by avoiding treatment because of fear of Covid in hospitals. Experts warn that there will be 1.4 million deaths from untreated TB infections alone. Hundreds of millions are dying from starvation because of the reaction to Covid. The UN is saying somewhere around 150 million will die this year from the response to Covid rather than the pandemic itself. Comparing that with the 1.4 million who have died from the pandemic itself, there seems to be a problem in our approach, and it's not merely economic.

This isn't new. It's been said over and over for quite some time now. Those in charge don't seem to care, likely because they're stupid, despotic at heart, fearful of being blamed for deaths they attribute to the virus they way they like to blame Trump. When we're to obey governmental authority because Scripture teaches us to do so, are we to continue obeying when doing so leads to our own destruction? Who gets to decide when that line has been crossed?
That line is crossed when we are commanded to do something God prohibited, and to not do something God commanded. In all other things, we are to obey the government God has put over us.
If those in charge are stupid and despotic, then wouldn’t that make Trump..,
Does God command that we ignore suffering caused by government?
"If those in charge are stupid and despotic, then wouldn’t that make Trump..."
...worthy of another four years? Absolutely, given he's demonstrated he's neither.
Are you really suggesting that Trump isn't "one of those in charge"?
No. I'm not. I'm insisting he's neither stupid nor despotic. Hence my comment "given he's demonstrated he's neither."
Interesting that you are excluding him from those you indicate are "in charge".
It seems as though, he'd be included as someone who's "in charge".
