People Cannot Stop Posting Corona Jokes And Here Are 50 Of The Best Ones This Week (New Pics)
In a time of trouble and anxiety, humor and laughter can go a long way to help us feel better and make the situation a little more bearable.
Yes, the coronavirus is still ravaging the world. Yes, the number of cases has surpassed 4 million globally. But some people continue to fight the pandemic with jokes and the new ones are just as good as the ones they shared at the beginning of the outbreak.
From ridiculous conspiracy theories to canceled vacations, continue scrolling to see what everyone has come up with this week, and check out our previous compilations: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7, part 8, and part 9.

Ferne Pearlstein, the director of The Last Laugh, a documentary about the role of humor among Jews during, and after, the Holocaust, told The New York Times that while doing research for it she and her team “found that humor was not uncommon — and was used as a coping mechanism in a situation of almost unimaginable horror, as a means of self-defense, a counterattack for people who had few, if any, other ways of fighting back, and even as just simple diversion.”
One Auschwitz survivor, Renee Firestone, said in the film that she could not help but see the bleak irony after the infamous Nazi physician Josef Mengele told her during an examination: “if you survive this war, you better have your tonsils removed.”
“The instinct to laugh shows that we were still human beings while in the camps,” Ms. Firestone explained. “This inner sense of humor is what kept me alive.”
And it isn't anything new. If we were to go back even further and take a look at, for example, the bubonic plague of the 14th century (also known as the Black Death), we would discover that humor was important then as well. While the disease killed large parts of the population of Europe, it also spawned the pointed satire of the Church and other authorities in “Decameron,” by Boccaccio. The classic concerns a group of young people who flee pestilence-ridden Florence for a series of villas in the countryside.
So don't worry about releasing a chuckle when scrolling through these pics. It’s natural to be amused by some of them.
Walmart certainly seem to attract a lot of ummm interesting characters.
This wasn't a response from an official Costco social media manager but from an impersonator, yet the main complaint is real
Being an introvert who lives with other people has its disadvantages.

I'm not anti-social, I just understand how to entertain my own brain and don't rely on others to provide for mental stimulation. I also trust my fellow humans enough to care for each other without constant reassurance in the form of other wise unnecessary social niceties. While also truly enjoying the company and input of a small group of friends. It gives me space to focus on what actually matters to me as a person without jumping through all kinds of hoops in the hopes of not losing my position in society. :D
Wonderful answer! Totally explains it! Too bad it wouldn't fit on a tee shirt.

I have been training for this my entire life (I have Autism and struggle interacting and would much rather be at home)
The change is that I don't need to find excuses to don't meet people and I don't have to speak on the phone because many services are closed. Now we use email.
True. I am an introvert who has Aspergers! Yay, no one trying to hug me. Yay, church is online.
Now people think I'm using good judgment instead of being unfriendly.
Shhh, that's my secret: I text my friends saying NO I MISS YOU and then I'm sitting on my couch: *throws phone* Ahhhh, finally a peaceful break from those _______
At least we don't have to make up lies about why we can't go out!
I guess this person can work from home? There are plenty of people suffering, and it has nothing to do with being introvert/extrovert. Separated from loved ones, unable to work, can't go to store without fear, no pay check, homeschooling, govt assistance still hasn't arrived, overdue bills......it isn't staying home that is hard. It is staying home and not knowing how long you can put food on the table. And though evictions are suspended, ALL that rent will come due. That is the struggle for so many people.
With agoraphobia as my sidekick for awhile now, I’m doing social distancing like a champ !
no kidding.....I'm not missing all those friends and social gatherings we don't have !!
Apart from the awful distance learning for kids it really didn't change much.
I'm disabled and basically housebound, plus an extreme introvert who enjoys their own company. My life actually hasn't changed a bit. My husband isn't the indoor cat that I am though and is going a bit nuts. I did get him to clean the outside of the second story windows when I saw he was bored, so that's a win.
I have no friends, but my husband has a lot and we used to have reunions every week.. and with our huge family too. I miss that a lot
Lorena, I'm sorry that you don't have any friends, but I'm glad that you have a community of family and other people in your life. Are you able to catch up with them on Zoom/Skype/Facetime, during this lockdown? It's not quite the same, but at least it's better than being totally alone.
Load More Replies... Yep! That's me! But I'm getting to the point where I need that ocasional human interaction I didn't know I needed XD
Hands down me! I still have as many friends as I did before Covid-19. That would be none lol
"Unsociable" and "antisocial" are drastically different things. The image vaguely represents the former. The caption vaguely demonstrates the latter.
Oh my God how true this is. Hubby and I have not changed at all. We ARE boring
Why do you thing you and your hubby are boring, Jerri? Maybe people we don't care to see are boring.

My only change is food shopping only every 2-3 weeks -- and not seeing my grandkids (that part sucks though.)
So true while everyone was complaining about not being able to go out and blah blah blah I was not sweating it. The only think that sucks is my favorite restaurant is closed!!
I'm missing the few friends I have, but it's not like I saw them anywhere outside of school
Have been in confined since April 8 (In Singapore, we fall it Circuit Breaker), today is May 11... I don't even feel it was that long.
Since March 10 here, and now that the lid has been taken off a little, a lot of people behave as if they have been on a really stupid diet living on vegetable juices and now that the kilos are off, they celebrate with three pizzas, five double burgers and half a pig, in other words, no face mask, no gloves, and no distance!

If you’re in a position to, stay home and spread the word. My grandfather just came back from the hospital, everyone is rushing to his side while wearing face masks. I’ve been his caretaker and translator even as a teen, but I’m sitting this one out for myself and for him. This is literally the only time that your selflessness is be home and learning a new skill or just chilling.
Exactly. Instead of appreciation days and clapping (which are nice) we campaign for better working conditions and better pay.
Selfish a******s. I want to say serve themselves right but it doesn't just effect them.
I'm not a hypochondriac, but I always thought that was gross. I had my kids blow out the candles on their own cupcake.
"The parachute has slowed our rate of descent. We can take it off now"
Me! I 've mentioned it several times. It was also a full moon. Seriously.
How have you managed to save? We are spending more in isolation than before, especially on bloody groceries.
If I am permitted to brag, I finally finished the first draft of a nonfiction book I've been writing off and on for a couple years.
I have not seen one video of celebrities singing and do you know why? Because I have the capabilities of scrolling past and ignoring them. More people should learn to do it, that way people who want to can still enjoy it.
it's not even like "are you still watching" it's like "wow, pete, you're still here? are you actually still here? goddammit pete get a life or something"
Ooh. I just cringe hearing that. Toothpaste and orange juice is disgusting together. Yuck
What's wrong with oatmeal raisin cookies...? And I wasn't expecting anything special from 2020. This s**t show is more like you were baking basic cookies and they came out breathing fire and s******g on your home because for some reason you were chosen by visiting aliens to raise their offspring.
Since when did Michael Myers socially distance? He stalked and killed people. I’m pretty sure running a knife through virgin teenagers involved getting closer than 2 metres.
Hahaha. I’m going to be optimistic and say these aren’t the plans I’m looking forward to doing.
I've lost count of the number of times I have been first in a Zoom or Google Chat room.
finding out finn's hat was not actually his head changed my life forever
I haven't learnt to make bread but I have learnt to make double cheese and bacon rolls.
Maybe it will make them stop this disaster that YouTube rewind became
I don't get to stay at home because my government thinks that the economy is more important than the health of the workers in said economy. I'm not an "essential" worker (not in healthcare or food production/distribution) but I do face the public everyday. I would much rather be staying at home and knowing that I'm safe rather than wondering if the next person to walk into the office is the one to make me sick. You might be bored staying at home constantly but at least you're safe.
I'm so sorry! Thank you for what you do and I wish you and yours good health!

I have a pediatric home care agency. Every day our nurses wear n95 masks and gloves and take the temperature of everyone in the household before administering clinical care and then again when they leave. Our babies have diagnoses that are as bad or worse than COVID-19. Our nurses live in a sad environment where mistakes of others have visited these children and the babies will pay the price. Do yourself a real personal favor and wear the masks, wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds and enjoy a little levity with these pics. Thank you, Ilona for giving us something to smile about in this time of high anxiety.
Thank you. Also if you go hiking in a state park please realize there are small paths that will put you less than 6ft away from people outside your home. Bring you mask and wear it! If I can get my 3 year old son to wear his for a couple of hrs than you can too( my son is bull headed and didn’t want to wear it at first but he he finally saw how serious things were getting and allows me to put the mask on without a fight).

I was ill with pneumonia in January/February this year and have got two things to say about it. First, I have never imagined that a simple task such as breathing could be almost impossible with that painful hard coughing - it made me vomit on daily basis. Thus, you can bet I take covid-19 seriously. Second, I was wearing surgical masks in order not to infect my boyfriend who was taking care of me. At that time, one mask cost me 2 CZK (roughly £ 0.06/$ 0.08). Nowadays, one mask costs from 20 to 50 CZK (£ 0.64 - 1.61/$ 0.80 - 1.99) which is insane! Let alone the fact that the surgical ones do not work as well as double layer cotton ones. Please wear a mask to keep save people around you. And who would like to get more information about masks, sanitisers, etc. be my guest and watch Ann Reardon's video. She is a food scientist and has done a great research not only about this topic :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMHySlDqpUw&t=
Omg! My neighbor did the same thing and couldn't understand why Costco said "Hell no stupid!"
eventually, everyone is going to catch this virus, everyone here knows that, correct? flattening the curve DOES NOT mean less people catch it, it means less people AT ANY ONE TIME catches it, as to not overwhelm the hospitals. this virus is very similar to the common cold virus...billions spent...no vaccine, so don't expect that to come "save" everyone. herd immunity is what's going to defeat this eventually, like it does 99% of all virii. the vast majority of people who catch the virus DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY DID. let that sink in...using data from the prison system of the 3,300 inmates who tested positive for either the anti-bodies or the actual virus, 96% WEREN'T EVEN AWARE THEY HAD IT! of the 4% who did notice it, like maybe 1% died, all of them elderly and obese. so we are talking about a real world mortality rate of 1% of 4% = 0.04% approx. THIS IS REAL WORLD DATA NOT MODELS THAT TIME AND TIME AGAIN HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE COMPLETELY WRONG BY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE. thanks!
March, 2022: Vaccinated 4 times. Count the numbers now, fool.

Crazy to see how big areas vs small areas handle the virus. I live in the middle of nowhere and we never really shut down anything but restaurants and no one really wears masks and we've only had a few mild cases a month or so a go, one death and over 1000 negative.
Part of it is luck, you just need a small cluster to start, maybe the clerk down at the gas station/mini mart gets infected, then you've got a growing infection on your hands and you better hope you're the only community it's affecting or your small county healthcare system is soon going to be overwhelmed. Every community, large and small, should be practicing social distancing until there's a vaccine available.
Load More Replies... At the beginning of this whole thing bored panda posted several articles refuting mask use. Pointless, even dangerous to wear one. Interesting how the opinion has swung. Perhaps we ought to think about how easily we are led by the media.
Actually, the whole point of previous posts here and elsewhere was: use the mask correctly. Only if you are sick. Then we realized... OK, we might get some safety by wearing masks if healthy. And the advice changed. It's called... wait for it... "knowledge-informed progress".
