Covid is not 'guilty' because it doesn't posses the capacity to make moral judgements, it does harm and must therefore be eradicated.
Try a less stupid argument.
You are literally trying to equivocate a human being and a virus. COVID doesn't undergo the same developmental stages as a human being. Even if a human being were to unintentionally cause harm or lack the capacity to make moral judgements they don't deserve to be killed.
But they can be defended against, with lethal force if necessary because it is unreasonable to expect a person facing such a threat to use deliberation in their response. A person is permitted to use such force as necessary to remedy the threat, and if that results in the death of the person who presents that threat--whether they actually intend harm or not--then that is an unfortunate consequence that in no way speaks against the one who used that force.
