Why isn’t God helping people

Where is God hiding? It seems that God does not care how many or how dies from coronavirus. It seems the religious gatherings spread the virus. Pray does nothing to stop the spread or cure anyone. It seems that God is picking on Christians to infect at the highest rate.
So, where is GOD???
Of course, God could be dead or dying. Look at all the other gods that have died. Gods are created by humans and humans can therefore kill gods.

How about a recent case?? Anything in the last 2000 years?

Also, please provide where in the bible pray healed anyone. Bet you can't. Make sure that the passage that states that a person prayed to god to be cured and they were.

The Bible says that people praying over a person followed by a miraculous 'healing' would end with the death of the Apostles. (1 Cor 13:8-13) Does that mean that Jehovah God isn't healing people? I don't know. There are accounts of people mysteriously becoming better from diseases that doctors called fatal. Yet, Jehovah God is not boosting if He did it or not. I know that He is healing people's spiritual self IE people's inside self, their personalities. I know because because of His word the Bible, has helped heal my inner self. But their physical self? That's harder to know for sure without Him telling us, "I did that".

Bottom line, it's not a good idea to be so dogmatic either way. Just because there is no recent case with 100% concrete proof doesn't mean Jehovah isn't healing another because of the prayer of one or more people. But we also can't be dogmatic that every quick recovery is because of a prayer to Jehovah.

Could you please document a case where a person got better from a diagnosed with a bad virus and prayed cured them in hours you say there are many cases.

And, you cant find in the bible where pray cured anyone. The passage you had said nothing about the question of people having prayed and been cured.

"The cloud moved away from over the tent, and look! Mirʹi·am was struck with leprosy as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Mirʹi·am, and he saw that she was struck with leprosy. Immediately Aaron said to Moses: “I beg you, my lord! Please do not hold this sin against us! We have acted foolishly in what we have done. Please, do not let her continue like someone dead, whose flesh is half eaten away at birth!� And Moses began to cry out to Jehovah, saying: “O God, please heal her! Please!� Jehovah replied to Moses: “If her father would spit directly in her face, would she not be humiliated for seven days? Let her be quarantined for seven days outside the camp, and afterward she may be brought back in.� So Mirʹi·am was quarantined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not break camp until Mirʹi·am was brought back in." (Numbers 12:10-15)

"In those days Hez·e·kiʹah became sick and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah the son of Aʹmoz came and said to him, “This is what Jehovah says: ‘Give instructions to your household, for you will die; you will not recover.’� At that he turned his face to the wall and began to pray to Jehovah: “I beg you, O Jehovah, remember, please, how I have walked before you faithfully and with a complete heart, and I have done what was good in your eyes.� And Hez·e·kiʹah began to weep profusely. Isaiah had not yet gone out to the middle courtyard when Jehovah’s word came to him, saying: “Go back and say to Hez·e·kiʹah, the leader of my people, ‘This is what Jehovah the God of David your forefather says: “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Here I am healing you. On the third day you will go up to the house of Jehovah. I will add 15 years to your life, and I will rescue you and this city out of the hand of the king of As·syrʹi·a, and I will defend this city for my own sake and for the sake of David my servant" (2 Kings 20:1-6)

"It so happened that the father of Pubʹli·us was lying in bed sick with fever and dysentery, and Paul went in to him and prayed, laid his hands on him, and healed him." Acts 28:8

Another look at this and it seems to me to be a mess of opinions without any backup let alone a suggested proof the conclusion HE is not helping people is true...

In the wrong forum?

If a person doesn't consider the Bible as proof then yes, they are in the wrong forum.
