The short answer to all your questions is yes, it depends on circumstances, it is usually from evil but it can come to us so we can be made stronger spiritually, or it can be so we can glorify god. It can come because of sin, or because of ourselves. For example if someone doesnt eat right and look after their body, then it will naturally be more prone to illness. Stress can make someone more prone to mental health issues. There are many reasons why someone can become ill, its not always evil spirits that cause illnesses. I would not say that illnesses come from God, but he allows the devil access to peoples lives for the initial reasons i stated.
I'm a little late to the party, so to speak, but would like to recommend a small book that is helpful in understanding this subject. It is not currently in print, although I think the arguments contained in it are very important. The title is:

The only answer to stop this spirit of infirmity (sickness and disease) that is caused by demon spirits (such as the coronavirus plague), is for the Believer Faith and Trust to be placed and maintained exclusively in Jesus Christ and the Finished Work at Calvary Cross where the victory was won. Romans 8:2, Luke 13:10-17, Acts 10:38
99.999% of Believers are oppressed by the Devil (2 Tim. 2:24-26). Oppression means sickness and disease. That's why Jesus in Acts 10:38 healed all who were oppressed by the Devil. However, unless they return to the Cross (the truth) repentance will not be granted (2 Tim. 2:24-26). These perilous times will increase with stronger birth pains...awaiting the Rapture.
This is a good example but I also like to balance it with this one,
john 9
1.And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

Where you have this from? That Corona is raised through demon spirits?
It may be that people are demon possesd and because of this sick.
But, since the sinfall sickness and death is in the world. And our body is going to die because of our Mortality.
Why Jesus healed, was to fulfill the prophecie and to proof that he is the messajah.
Not to cast out sickness from this world. Because everybody who was healed from Jesus, later died, because of sickness and collapse of the bodyfunctions.
If his Goal would be this, he would fast out sickness and Mortality from the world. But he did not! This time will come when we are in heaven.

Diseases in general are part of the hostile world we live in because of the fall and yet he tells us to subdue and take dominion. He was not just talking about dominion over lions and tigers but also viruses and genetic diseases. Medical science and vaccines are a gift from God. We are responsible for doing something about helping sick people if we have the ability to do so.
If I can lay hands on you and pray in Jesus Name and you are healed that is great. If I can help find a cure for your disease that is great too.
Why are their tigers in the world that will come into villages and take small children? Because of the fall? What are we supposed to do about it? Take dominion and control the beasts, by any means necessary.
Why are their tiny microscopic viruses which seem programmed to invade our cells and kill us? Because of the fall? What are we supposed to do about it? One of the best options we have discovered so far is not broccoli (sorry for those who wish it were true) but vaccines and we are responsible to take dominion over these tiny tigers and subdue them by any means necessary.
Pray for the success of the COVID-19 vaccines in final testing.

As I specified I wasn’t balancing a scripture - rather the understanding one may get by just reading one portion of scripture.
It wasn’t a correction! It was simply me adding other scriptures I found helpful to build a biblically balanced understanding of Jesus and what He said about the matter Of sin and Sickness. I am sorry you are offended and did not understand my clarification on the fact I wasn’t attempting to “balance scripture” of any kind. I shall try to avoid joining in on biblical discussions with you in future so we do not incur these sorts of miscommunications and I don’t inadvertently offend you again. It may be I just need to avoid quoting you when adding scripture etc. I really shall do my best.
All The best and God bless.
