THE POPE SAYS HE HAS ASKED GOD TO STOP THE CORONAVIRUS EPIDEMIC... PUBLISHED: 07:18 EDT 18 March 2020 Total Coronavirus Cases GOD!

What it means

A collage shows Pope Francis speaking into a microphone above a rapidly rising coronavirus cases graph dated 18 March 2020, with Bugs Bunny at the bottom shouting “GOD!”. The joke is that despite the Pope asking God to stop the epidemic, the case count keeps skyrocketing, turning the prayer into an exasperated reaction. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to worsening crises or prayers seemingly going unanswered.
