People Can’t Stop Posting Corona Jokes And Here Are 40 Of The Best Ones That Made Them Laugh Then Cry This Week
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.
I don't think America understands America. (Sorry America)

i saw a post where somebody said 'my kid just asked me "how are we going to social distance during school shooting drills?" and everything in that sentence is wrong' and that is so so true, i shouldn't even have to explain it
I saw a lady complain about how unconstitutional it was that she was told to where a mask at the airport. She said nothing about airport security
Oh, the irony! If it suits them, it's constitutional. If it doesn't, whine whine whine!

Excellent! So sad that owning firearms is everybody's constitutional rights. How many more mass murders must take place for Republicans to wake up and stop thinking of the money they make selling guns and rifles. USA is a very backward country. Ramping poverty, crime like in some third world countries, weird medical system; so many women dying in labor, infants dying shortly after birth, a very poor education system for the mass population, retirement pensions so low, that elderly citizens must work until death, it's time to make USA GREAT since it never was. The system should be changed.The Wealth have "charity balls" where a very small fraction actually goes where it should. Taxes should be done according to what one earns per year. Hitler said MAKE GERMANY GREAT!
As an American, I can't disagree with you. But, like others here have mentioned, many of us are doing our best to follow what the health experts recommend so that we can get past this. It's the other imbeciles that are dragging the country down like an anchor in the deep end of the gene pool.

I have also heard that "bullet proof backpack" is a real thing kids in US wear, rather than some fancy gear in Fallout.
I googled this to find out whose quote it is, because I don't recognize the photo. No matches. Who is in the photo?
This is actually a good perspective. In all your apocalypse movies, you show up and save the day. And now when the opportunity to be a hero is here...... you want haircuts? WTF karen and chad
Amateur. I also keep a weaponized vulture on my shoulder at all times.

Correction: Trump ate everybody's marshmallows and then never explained the rules. (Edit: errant apostrophe)
Hahahahaha 🤣
I UPVOTED EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
SAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Ultimately the problem can be solved by two things - people being responsible (and isolating if there's an outside chance they have it) and governments not prioritising the economy over human life.
So... America's fucked, then. Because we as a society are incapable of either of those things.
At least not until every single American lives with or is related to someone who has died of COVID-19. Because it certainly seems like if it doesn't affect the more boneheaded among us, it isn't real and it isn't important.
Karen Lyon Good response!
You're asking for the universe on a stick there!
Some of these were new (which is appreciated) and clever. Some didn't feel like jokes.
Oh well, the biggest joke of them all...if you haven't, watch this one. It's terrifying, but hilarious all the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaaTZkqsaxY
My "friend" was going to do this.I explained it defeats the purpose....She complained it makes her face sweat...I explained so will a ventilator (i am an ICU nurse) She refuses to wear a mask in my car. I no longer take her places. That's bad news for her. She doesn't drive. My car my rules.
My favorite! Mask-On-5f...5e50e0.jpg
Do you guys have any experience on where to buy (reusable) masks? Amazon and ebay have plenty, but most seem to be against dust/ pollution, which is hardly the same
reusable cloth masks keep your spittle in, which protects people around you from you. They're not designed to protect you from a virus itself. This matters because if everyone wears a cloth mask when out in public, there's much less of a chance of anyone infecting anyone else.
N90 and other vapor filter masks will keep viruses out, but they're needed for people who have to be around the sick (and potentially sick) all day...Like medical professionals, cops, retail workers, etc. People who have no choice but to be around people all day.

Cops aren't essential workers, they're not even essential people
I got mine from https://pvtlmotions.com/ 2 layer cotton with a pocket for a filter that they also sell. Has the nose wire, covers the chin and ear loops are adjustable. The filters are a little tricky to get in. I throw them in the wash and dry them on low, no shrinkage. I don't trust Amazon or ebay anymore with all the fake stuff :(
you can buy a lot of them online, that's where my mom got them, and i'm sure etsy has some, but really if it's a mask that covers all of your face and you wear it properly than it should do fine

right next to the reusable condoms and diapers
Good job!
Not my kind of humour.
The US as a federal entity has done horribly in response to the pandemic. But as for numbers and the graphs, you can't compare the US as a whole to a country in Europe. You have to compare individual states to countries in Europe.

There are some good one among them... but of course it has to be "HEY? WHY AREN'T THE WHOLE WORLD CONCERNED ABOUT MURRICA'S INNER POLITICS?" in the end...
Shall we talk about neo-fascism in Hungary then?

This is more anti-Trump than anti-covid. You are all sheep.
I can guarantee a sheep is more useful to the world than one Joseph Smith.
Joseph Smith, I saw a WW2 documentary the other day. It was sooo anti-Hitler! (My way of saying: wtf do you expect if Trump effs it up so badly?)
true, they provide wool and meat, what does a joseph smith provide? false facts
Boom. Roasted.
Lol baby needs his bottle

Do you at least feel the irony when those americans who call themselves anti-nationalist literally can't even comprehend the fact, that the 7,5 billion non-US citizen of the world couldn't care less about which corporate elected guy do you call president at the moment?
It's anti-Trump because Trump is pro-covid. Or do we really need to explain in detail how he failed at every moment since January 2020 to actually be a president and unite the nation to fight the spreading of Corona? Do you really think it's smart when everyone in the whole world is screaming pandemic to insist that it's a hoax? And next proceed to waste valuable time in blessed ignorance pointing out how well the economy is doing and how fast the virus would be exterminated? By the end of May it would all be over. It's August and there's no sign that there's an end to this pandemic in the USA. August, 150 000 people dead, over 30 million people without a job and the economy is shattered. What a guy he is. Best president EVAH!!!
