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.
Too true. If this is the worst thing that happens in any person's lifetime, then they have been very lucky.
No. The greatest economic downturn, highest unemployment, highest loss of life in any American historic event. This will be the worst thing that happens for almost everyone alive in the US right now. The Great Depression and Spanish flu were not even as bad as this and it’s widely accepted that those are the worst things people had to go through during those times.

Don’t forget to mention that your grandfather had to wear a gas mask for much longer than 20 minutes to survive those mustard gas attacks.
As a vet I could not possibly disagree more... usa has long long been never worth fighting for more so in recent years
But it's Americans who are doing it to themselves... How do you actually do something?
Load More Replies...I feel sad too. Please wear a mask to protect yourself and others. I know that wearing a mask is not protective to yourself but if you do it others will do it too. Maybe masks can be the new fashion trend.
I was in Asia for 16 months for my country and got sprayed and rockets shot at me so a mask is nothing
Let’s thank now. I thank my dad and he has been gone 8 years. He was in WWII.

And if they want to experience discomfort, let them do what I frequently did during my years as a firefighter: put on heavy pants with a thick insulating liner, a heavy coat with a thick insulated liner, thick rubber boots, gloves, a helmet, and an air pack with a mask that covers the whole face, and then go fight a fire when the outside temperature is over 100 degrees. Then they can put on their little fabric mask for ten minutes and tell me how awful it is.
These anti-maskers who stand on their "right" to go neked know nothing about constitutional law, less than nothing because they are full of BS where knowledge should be.
Darwinism is apparently contagious too - you get it from being stupid.
What if all the sensible people who wear masks stay at home and all the people who don't wear masks go out. Think about it. They may be doing us a favour in the long run.
I go to my piano lessons for 30 minutes every week and masks dont even feel weird
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)

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

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.
