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.
Can we come if we provide proof of vaccination (once one is available)? Pleassssse? I promise we don't all suck and some of us saner ones would also like to not be here. :(

I'd like to claim asylum please. The people of my country are trying to kill me.
Actually the UK is handling it worse than the US. Higher death rate, second highest in the world after Yemen and higher infection rate too..
UK has a much higher population to land mass though. We have 725 people per square mile. USA only has 97 people per square mile so they should be able to stay apart much easier. When it comes to the top 100 countries sorted by population density UK is no.14 on the list USA is way down at 79 *No jokes about people in UK being dense please :)

Brazilian too... shame on my coutrymen. (Yes, I'm Brazilian and I wear mask everywhere.)
I'm of Alzano Lombardo, Bergamo, near Milan, sadly known in all over the world for Covid disease. I missed two in my family, and yeah, we lost an amount of freedom, but a less amount of beloved corps. more sadly, was impossible to hug our deads, suddenly "shipped" to be buried alone, no freedom to hug them. PLEASE, do like us and respect these rules even if they limit your freedom... for now it is the only answer to the virus that allows us not to lose our loved ones. God bless you all guys!
Thank you for your story.... we should all take heed !
Load More Replies... It's especially at times like this, that I genuinely feel bad for all the smart folks in the USA. :(
Not sure Europe has handled it perfectly either. I mean I would rather be in Eu than the US but still...
No one has handled it perfectly but some have handled it better then others

I left America in 2016 to go teach internationally and I've never been happier!
Just say you're a refugee and Europe will accept you with open arms without even testing you.
Would answer "Because this person has his own opinions and is not interested in the opinions of tyrants like your mother"
FYI, Sweden never closed anything or required any masks. They have less deaths than anyone else....
Oh no, they have not!!! More people have died in Sweden, than in Denmark, Norway, Finland and iceland combined!!!

America is an idiot. Not just now. Every day. I know from experience.
Question: Twitter users can block others and delete comments. Does it not seem desperate for NUMBERS not to do so?
Please explain how Italy with 35,181 people dead and Spain with 28,499 people dead is doing worse than the USA with 160,502 people dead? The only explanation you could give is that 1 Italian life is worth more than 3 American lives and 1 Spanish life is even worth more than 5 American lives. And that's why they are doing worse....

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.

Correction: Trump ate everybody's marshmallows and then never explained the rules. (Edit: errant apostrophe)

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.
You're asking for the universe on a stick there!

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.
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.
