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.

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.

This would work, not only does it engage the competitive nature of people but people are surprisingly food motivated. And "free" motivated.

i still like the idea of getting whoever was behind the "cut your six-pack rings apart so sea turtles don't choke to death" campaign should get on a mask campaign, because i assure you, *everyone* cuts their six-pack rings apart, that s**t worked so well.

nah - let Darwinism take it's course - it's Nature's way of cleaning out the weak & stupid (and unfortunately the people who come in contact with them. kind of like getting between mom and baby bear - same end result)

Only americans need a competition to see who "wins" a pandemic, with their numbers of infected soaring over every nation on planet and their death toll rising daily, maybe they have already won!

A special solution just for Americans? You mean, like we have "special" schools for "special" children? I'm afraid you're right. But for the sake of the rest of the world, can't you just let them all die? The Mexicans can move in and keep things running.

I think it would need to be Bud and BBQ, held at a NASCAR track, to get the right people to participate. (Stereotype much? No, why do you ask?)

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.
