Lena Richter quotes one joke which says: People keep asking whether COVID-19 is REALLY that serious. Hear you all, the casinos and churches are closed and when heaven and hell agree on the same thing, it’s expected to be pretty serious.[8]

In another cartoon quoted by Richter to cite adaptation shared on social media, the cartoon depicts an empty list with the caption "A list of things that God has done during the pandemic". The same picture is shared and slightly adapted to "A list of things that Allah has done during the pandemic".[8] . .
