Coronavirus is continuing to spread across the world with more than 18 million confirmed cases in 188 countries. At the same time, however, the jokes mocking it are making their way around the globe just as fast. People on social media continue to roast the pandemic and by now, it's obvious that the savage jokes are here to stay. Until the vaccine, at least.

Bored Panda handpicked the best viral posts about COVID-19 from last week and after you're done scrolling through them, check out our previous lists here, here, and here.

As the number of deaths due to COVID-19 continues to climb, the world is eagerly waiting for a vaccine.

A leading pandemic adviser to the UK government has suggested that a vaccine against the coronavirus will be available in 2020 and 2021.

"In the last seven months since I have been involved, the progress is absolutely staggering and there are now first-generation vaccines," Sir Jeremy Farrar, the director of health research charity Wellcome Trust, told the BBC's HARDtalk program. "There’s probably five or six of them - from the US, from Europe, from China, from Russia - that are becoming available."

Despite the optimism, he also urged caution, saying the first generation of vaccines wouldn't solve everything.

Meanwhile, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization, said at a news briefing that there was "no silver bullet at the moment - and there might never be".

Mr. Tedros advised people around the world to comply with measures such as social distancing, hand-washing and mask-wearing, saying: "Do it all."

"A number of vaccines are now in phase 3 clinical trials, and we all hope to have a number of effective vaccines that can help prevent people from infection," he said. "However, there is no silver bullet at the moment, and there might never be. For now, stopping outbreaks comes down to the basics of public health and disease control: testing, isolating and treating patients, and tracing and quarantining their contacts."

So it looks like our safety still depends a lot on our own efforts. And memes, of course.

Or better yet, get a HAZMAT team to scrape off some of the wall of your lungs, and dump it into Trump's coffee.

Great analogy, except the fact that Trump voting covidiots are anything but cool.

Some of us Americans are out there trying to do what's right! Unfortunately, we're outnumbered by the idiots!

Actually the polls currently show that a large majority of Americans are fine with masks. There is just a very loud minority that is upset about it.

Cannot wait to see just how fast anti-vaxxers run to the doctor to be vaccinated. Would be tragically ironic if drumpf pushes too hard for the vaccine to be released too soon, without proper testing, and it turns out to be more fatal than COVID-19.

Okay, this one pisses me off. Scientists are rushing to make a vaccine because this is a global pandemic that is affecting people negatively no matter if they cooperate and try their best to slow it down. The vaccine is needed ASAP no matter what any nation does or does not do. The whole world does NOT revolve around the bleeding US of f*****g A.

Yes, let's rush something that will be injected in 2 billion people veins. Let's not check for side effect, oh wait, vaccine companies already don't do that, what can go wrong.

Even if a vaccine is approved today after stage 3 trial, it would take at least some weeks for production to start and several months to have sufficient amounts. Russia says they are ready to start producing this month but they wouldn't start exporting till they have enough for themselves and that would take a while...

Scientists worldwide are NOT rushing to make a vaccine because of one particular country's infamous ignorant population ... they are rushing to make a vaccine for the people of the "entire world". You know, that strange foreign place outside the borders of the U.S.

If Republicans aren't at the front of the line for vaccination, everyone else should wait.

Too true. If this is the worst thing that happens in any person's lifetime, then they have been very lucky.

It's odd how a whole genre has suddenly changed from action movies to satire movies. I'll never see an old American pandemic movie without laughing myself silly.

A long time ago I worked as a tech-weenie at at call center for Sony TV`s. One caller was complaining about her telly as she was a vegitarian and demanded to know if the plasma in the TV was animal or human. I had the speaker on loud when I explained.
