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.

They need to add “Properly worn” before the word “mask”. Plus mention to put your over your damned nose, you f*****g germ factory! (This is the most exasperating thing I continue to see. Can you tell?)

There have been multiple people arguing and attacking employees for being asked to wear a mask. Just watch the news! I feel bad for the businesses and workers who have to deal with these delusional selfish people. And I LOVE this sign.

On CBS news this evening, a woman in New Jersey was attacked and left with a broken leg. She is a liver transplant recipient, and it apparently started when she asked another customer who was coming towards her to put on her mask

A bit but people just hate stupid people- any country. While the stupid antivaxx, antimask etc etc still do their stupid thing- think they're right.

How are masks unconstitutional? Stores can require whatever kind of clothing they want.

If someone tells me it's "unconstitutional", I'd pull out a copy of the Constitution and politely ask them to show me which part of it, exactly, is violated by wearing a mask ;)

I recently saw a post on FB that claims that the virus doesnt exist. It is a conspiracy to make us all slaves by somehow hypnotizing us via our cell phones. This woman also pulled a Karen and went off on Walmart employees because she will NEVER wear a mask. I'm seriously worried about her mental health. People like this read these bizarre posts online and will apparently believe anything. Then they rant about it in public and harrass employees who are just doing their jobs. More businesses should put up signs like this.

We need those sings everywhere here in Czech Republic and more brave people like the autor of this sign. People here stopped to believe the covid is dangerous, they think it is nothing to be worry about and people wearing masks are just sheep and stupid and it's all political game and our government does not do much about it while the virus is happily spreading more and more these days.

WAY too wordy. The average conspiracy theory r****d's eyes would glaze over after the first sentence. Any attempt at logic or common sense would be wasted on the dumb attention seeking f*****s. Just say "Mask required for entry. No mask? F**k off."

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

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.
