but the fact that governments around the world are spending an exorbitant amount of money on a disease that isn't really a concern for most people.

What do you mean "most people"? Not everyone can work from home.

Governments are forced to spend money because the pandemic has disrupted society to warrant a response.

By doing nothing, that is exactly how we end up with deadly situations like India instead of Australia, who took the virus seriously and are closer to opening back up.

Most people = covid doesn't harm most people. In Canada, 99% of deaths are in long-term care homes and the news has gone out of it's way to edit that out of their segments. See here, 2 min mark

You're putting the cart before the horse. Governments have disrupted society far more than the virus has, they've just used the virus as an excuse.

That's not a good reason at all to ignore the pandemic. As I explained to the other guy, it takes only 1 person to spread it to a school or factory and get that establishment shut down. All those people who depended on factory work to pay their bills are now fucked, and thus the government is forced to pay them welfare until they can return to work.

There's an argument for both. But without the virus, none of their schemes would have materialized anyway, so the blame is on Covid. For example, the government is not going to profit when important food factories are forced to close and hundreds of workers are now in isolation while awaiting money. It's your tax dollars being forced to pay for the virus.
