Well there are many of God's laws that would help protect you from many different diseases. As far as COVID, God commands us to generally obey the government authorities so you should do what the experts say to prevent exposure. In addition, treating your body like the Temple of God as the bible says should cause you to eat healthy and not engage in unhealthy behaviors like smoking and drug use. And it should encourage you to exercise. Then obeying His laws about sex will prevent you from engaging in promiscuous sex thereby preventing you from getting STDs. Also, Christ's teaching about not living a life of violence will help avoid the ICU. All of these teachings can help prevent you from ever ending up in an ICU.
We all agree that healthy living can make us more healthy.
But you seem to be moving the goalposts. I remind you that this is what you said:
Generally If you live according to God's moral teachings you will probably not ever be in an ICU.
And that is a remarkable (and wrong) claim.
Now back to the man with covid in the OP picture. We could all Monday morning quarterback and say that if he had been more careful he might not be there. I get that. The medical staff in the picture are not judging him for catching COVID. They are trying to minimize the suffering and save his life.
Again, where is God in that picture? Why is he letting that man suffer?
