People Cannot Stop Posting Corona Jokes And Here Are 50 Of The Best Ones This Week (New Pics)
In a time of trouble and anxiety, humor and laughter can go a long way to help us feel better and make the situation a little more bearable.
Yes, the coronavirus is still ravaging the world. Yes, the number of cases has surpassed 4 million globally. But some people continue to fight the pandemic with jokes and the new ones are just as good as the ones they shared at the beginning of the outbreak.
From ridiculous conspiracy theories to canceled vacations, continue scrolling to see what everyone has come up with this week, and check out our previous compilations: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7, part 8, and part 9.

Ferne Pearlstein, the director of The Last Laugh, a documentary about the role of humor among Jews during, and after, the Holocaust, told The New York Times that while doing research for it she and her team “found that humor was not uncommon — and was used as a coping mechanism in a situation of almost unimaginable horror, as a means of self-defense, a counterattack for people who had few, if any, other ways of fighting back, and even as just simple diversion.”
One Auschwitz survivor, Renee Firestone, said in the film that she could not help but see the bleak irony after the infamous Nazi physician Josef Mengele told her during an examination: “if you survive this war, you better have your tonsils removed.”
“The instinct to laugh shows that we were still human beings while in the camps,” Ms. Firestone explained. “This inner sense of humor is what kept me alive.”
And it isn't anything new. If we were to go back even further and take a look at, for example, the bubonic plague of the 14th century (also known as the Black Death), we would discover that humor was important then as well. While the disease killed large parts of the population of Europe, it also spawned the pointed satire of the Church and other authorities in “Decameron,” by Boccaccio. The classic concerns a group of young people who flee pestilence-ridden Florence for a series of villas in the countryside.
So don't worry about releasing a chuckle when scrolling through these pics. It’s natural to be amused by some of them.
Walmart certainly seem to attract a lot of ummm interesting characters.
Exactly. As a law firm, they are covering their legal asses, sure. But sometimes that does coincide with doing the right thing.

Yes, my first reaction was...OMG I actually live in proximity to that idiot!

That falls under "Terroristic threats", by law, in many jurisdictions.
To the people questioning why you would be fired for threatening to shoot a security guard simply for doing their job (which is also for your own dumb benefit) - a man was murdered in Michigan last week in just these circumstances. Told someone they couldn't enter without a state-mandated mask, so they came back and shot him in the back of the head. I can't even find the f*****g words...smh https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52540266
People don't get it: your test being negative doesn't mean you're immune. You were negative the moment you have been tested. Nothing else does it says.
Kinda like a pregnancy test. I may not have been pregnant yesterday, but could be tomorrow!!

Wow. Good on this company for doing the right thing. This ex-employee is clearly unhinged. Delusions of grandeur and all.
Fancy that, a lawyer with delusions of grandeur. Oh... wait. He's a lawyer's assistant. Even better. I shouldn't make fun of him though, he'll show me his power.
Load More Replies... What kind of absolute f*****t thinks it's OK to post this on his workplace blog?
When you name your employer in your post, then it not a private comment any more.

I'd loved to have seen when reality b***h slapped him letting him know whose really in charge.
Unfortunately, losing his job would only aggravate his sick mentality, increasing the chances of him really hurting people. Also, he's not the only psycho out there and a security guard has already been killed by a person with similar thoughts.
But But But... I am sure he's a law-abiding, god-fearing, family value Gun owner. Just like what every gun nut claims they are after mass shootings when asked for gun control. Also when was the last time someone who was law-abiding, god-fearing, family value Gun owner did mass shooting with a legally obtained gun? OHHHH ... WAIT ... NEVERMIND ...

I know the feeling of disbelief after reading his comment. I myself started a sh*t storm under an article about one shop chain asking for masks. My whole country has to wear them. It's not comfortable but we do and we're having good results. I wrote that. I was called names and even threatened with forced vaccination(?). All this by "free" people of US. It was a shocking experience...
Another reason to vote Trump out. His rabid, brain-dead followers are feeling especially emboldened while he's in office.

@Hugo Raible Sorry but you're 100% wrong. When this employee included his title and employers name in the post he was at that point representing and linking his firm to his post. The firm responded appropriately by ending the relationship in the post and with the firm. Maybe you should do your homework before you post responses that are illogical and border on the absurd. If you want to be a Constitutional Law expert go to school. Google and Wikipedia are not an accredited law schools.
I hope this "person" was terminated with extreme prejudice

This stupid person should be arrested for putting other people at risk! I hope they get the virus and die from it. It would serve them right! They won’t even identify themselves. What a coward!
Even if you are tested you could still catch it after the fact or have been in an incubation.! It's just selfish not protecting yourself exposing others! Quite honestly I would want him to go shop somewhere else if he's going to be like that!
Yeah, I'm okay with nature weeding this guy out... Good job getting your a*s fired too! Ha!
He thought his gun would be the only thing doing the "firing", guess he found out the hard way that was not true.
Sometimes you never know how ignorant someone is until they're tested.
And what did this picometer-dicked fool think was going to happen? He can f**k all the way off.
TIL a new word. I've never heard of a picometer before.

Thank God. This was not a "joke"; it was a not-so-veiled threat. People like this should be censored. This goes beyong freedom of speech. Thank you, ThompsonKnight, but I hope your lives are not in jeopardy now. He sounds like a violent nutjob.
Oh yes, we are so sorry that we are trying to keep you and others away from this man-killing virus. We will never, ever disrespect you like this again -ThompsonKnight P.S. stfu
This is very sad and very scary, and explains why people just shouldn't have guns.
Well done Thompson Knight! Also just because you tested negative yesterday does not mean you do today. Besides you could catch it from someone else with just one brain cell like you.......
He should wear a mask if for no other reason so we wouldn't have to listen to him.
I wonder if this ex-employee with impressive shooting range results will decide to “go postal” against this law firm, since he’s still out and free. 🤔
Glad you tooksyand! But, also hope you have decent security for other company employees...especially against disgruntled fruit-loops!
Masks cut oxygen supply and can ignite viruses that are dormant within people, so use only when necessary!
You don't wear a mask, I don't wear pants! Touché you MAY or may not have given me COVID, but no doubt in my mind I have scared you for life, have fun in therapy re living that experience!
Seen this, it was oh so sweet, assuming it's true. I expect Excreta Hornady hollow points user will find another job with his gun toting chummies soon though
ThompsonKnight you have proven yourselves worthy of admiration... keep on!
Thankyou Thompson Knight, though I do not wish to encounter the said employee until after the police have spoken to him and hopefully removed all fire arms.
thank you...Thompson Knight...also could you alert the authorities that he has made open threats against innocent employees who are just doing their jobs, and trying to keep us safe?
I heard about this...I’m still wondering if it’s true...I hope so...
Yep, being fired won’t push the angry gun owner into doing anything rash will it?
True. But if you owned that law firm, would you want to wash your hands of him BEFORE he killed people, or AFTER? When you're dealing with someone who's so irrational that having to wear a mask on his face sends him into a murderous rage, there's no way to win. I'm so exhausted at this point by humanity and all of its sick malfunctions.
Load More Replies... Just my opinion but I think this "K" fella should not be toting guns around. He is an armed fool and hopefully he is disarmed and flagged as unable to buy guns now especially since this cost him his job which could be cause for depression and obviously he makes threats when he is irritated. Not a situation to take lightly.
Ahhh, the first post is like a gift from the Dallas Tourist Board & the NRA all wrapped up in a bow
Fantastic response! Zero tolerance for behavior like this is what is needed right now.
While stupid people are at it, can all racists be this stupidly bold? I’d like to see y’all out of jobs too.
Talk about an ignorant Texas C---t Kloe (isn't that just a glorious way to spell her name) - you have to be the most stupidest broad in the whole State of Texas and that takes some doing for Texas as it is full of Stupids! Go to your bars, everywhere there are crowds, don't wear a mask then is a week or two when you are on your death bed take your Glock and use it on yourself, OK! Ed
Yikes! Only in America do people make gun related death threats. Too many guns. Thank you Thompson Knight

Let us hope that he will never find employment in any position that allows him to be armed as he obviously cannot handle the responsibility that comes with having any kind of power whatsoever. He needs anger management training and he also - for his own good - needs to learn how to STFU.

This wasn't a response from an official Costco social media manager but from an impersonator, yet the main complaint is real
If you’re in a position to, stay home and spread the word. My grandfather just came back from the hospital, everyone is rushing to his side while wearing face masks. I’ve been his caretaker and translator even as a teen, but I’m sitting this one out for myself and for him. This is literally the only time that your selflessness is be home and learning a new skill or just chilling.
Exactly. Instead of appreciation days and clapping (which are nice) we campaign for better working conditions and better pay.
Selfish a******s. I want to say serve themselves right but it doesn't just effect them.
I'm not a hypochondriac, but I always thought that was gross. I had my kids blow out the candles on their own cupcake.
"The parachute has slowed our rate of descent. We can take it off now"
Me! I 've mentioned it several times. It was also a full moon. Seriously.
How have you managed to save? We are spending more in isolation than before, especially on bloody groceries.

I don't get to stay at home because my government thinks that the economy is more important than the health of the workers in said economy. I'm not an "essential" worker (not in healthcare or food production/distribution) but I do face the public everyday. I would much rather be staying at home and knowing that I'm safe rather than wondering if the next person to walk into the office is the one to make me sick. You might be bored staying at home constantly but at least you're safe.
I'm so sorry! Thank you for what you do and I wish you and yours good health!

I have a pediatric home care agency. Every day our nurses wear n95 masks and gloves and take the temperature of everyone in the household before administering clinical care and then again when they leave. Our babies have diagnoses that are as bad or worse than COVID-19. Our nurses live in a sad environment where mistakes of others have visited these children and the babies will pay the price. Do yourself a real personal favor and wear the masks, wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds and enjoy a little levity with these pics. Thank you, Ilona for giving us something to smile about in this time of high anxiety.
Thank you. Also if you go hiking in a state park please realize there are small paths that will put you less than 6ft away from people outside your home. Bring you mask and wear it! If I can get my 3 year old son to wear his for a couple of hrs than you can too( my son is bull headed and didn’t want to wear it at first but he he finally saw how serious things were getting and allows me to put the mask on without a fight).

I was ill with pneumonia in January/February this year and have got two things to say about it. First, I have never imagined that a simple task such as breathing could be almost impossible with that painful hard coughing - it made me vomit on daily basis. Thus, you can bet I take covid-19 seriously. Second, I was wearing surgical masks in order not to infect my boyfriend who was taking care of me. At that time, one mask cost me 2 CZK (roughly £ 0.06/$ 0.08). Nowadays, one mask costs from 20 to 50 CZK (£ 0.64 - 1.61/$ 0.80 - 1.99) which is insane! Let alone the fact that the surgical ones do not work as well as double layer cotton ones. Please wear a mask to keep save people around you. And who would like to get more information about masks, sanitisers, etc. be my guest and watch Ann Reardon's video. She is a food scientist and has done a great research not only about this topic :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMHySlDqpUw&t=
Omg! My neighbor did the same thing and couldn't understand why Costco said "Hell no stupid!"
eventually, everyone is going to catch this virus, everyone here knows that, correct? flattening the curve DOES NOT mean less people catch it, it means less people AT ANY ONE TIME catches it, as to not overwhelm the hospitals. this virus is very similar to the common cold virus...billions spent...no vaccine, so don't expect that to come "save" everyone. herd immunity is what's going to defeat this eventually, like it does 99% of all virii. the vast majority of people who catch the virus DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY DID. let that sink in...using data from the prison system of the 3,300 inmates who tested positive for either the anti-bodies or the actual virus, 96% WEREN'T EVEN AWARE THEY HAD IT! of the 4% who did notice it, like maybe 1% died, all of them elderly and obese. so we are talking about a real world mortality rate of 1% of 4% = 0.04% approx. THIS IS REAL WORLD DATA NOT MODELS THAT TIME AND TIME AGAIN HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE COMPLETELY WRONG BY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE. thanks!

Crazy to see how big areas vs small areas handle the virus. I live in the middle of nowhere and we never really shut down anything but restaurants and no one really wears masks and we've only had a few mild cases a month or so a go, one death and over 1000 negative.
Part of it is luck, you just need a small cluster to start, maybe the clerk down at the gas station/mini mart gets infected, then you've got a growing infection on your hands and you better hope you're the only community it's affecting or your small county healthcare system is soon going to be overwhelmed. Every community, large and small, should be practicing social distancing until there's a vaccine available.
Load More Replies... At the beginning of this whole thing bored panda posted several articles refuting mask use. Pointless, even dangerous to wear one. Interesting how the opinion has swung. Perhaps we ought to think about how easily we are led by the media.
Actually, the whole point of previous posts here and elsewhere was: use the mask correctly. Only if you are sick. Then we realized... OK, we might get some safety by wearing masks if healthy. And the advice changed. It's called... wait for it... "knowledge-informed progress".
