Nietzsche's slave mentality on full display here. The left can't reconcile the perfectly coherent set of principles that underlie the fundamental concept that your safety is your own responsibility, and that you shouldn't be able to force the responsibility on others to try to make you feel safe.
You don't get to tell other people what they have to wear on their face or put in their body because you're afraid of a virus. You don't get to tell other people they can't have guns because you're afraid of guns. You do get to own guns so that you can protect yourself and your family from things that threaten them.
Outsourcing the responsibility for your safety to the government not only amounts to surrendering your rights and freedoms, and forcing everyone else to give away their freedoms, but it also in the long run will make you objectively less safe. But the alternative is taking responsibility, and they just can't stand that.
The lines that follow "God is dead" in his writing, if anyone is interested in them and doesn't know them:
How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

Nietzsche was right on many things, which is why its a shame why everyone gets his philosophy so terribly wrong.
Its pretty telling that the people you find citing him most are edgy atheists and nihilists when he despised both atheism and nihilism.
"God is dead" was a lamentation, not an exhaltation.
