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
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.
A thousand times yes. How do we do this? Please chime in while we have the time and the pent up energy.

Yeah, how come there is no CEO Appreciation Week? Asking for a friend,...
Better conditiond+better pay isn't something business wants to hear!
What about that next person who is hired to replace the worker who improved his/her ability and moved up, Martin Donovan?? As I said, somebody has to do those minimum paying jobs.

My boss gave me roses and wine. Best Nurses Week gift I've ever gotten.
Tax the 1% much, much more, tax the 10% much more, tax the 25% more, and raise the taxes on corporations and companies - and double their taxes if they pay their shareholders more! Then pay all essential workers decent wages.
Why not just get together as a human race, share knowledge and conquer this pandemic?
What about just get together as a humane human race, get informed and make sure that next deadly corona virus will not emerge, how about that, Pebbesmax??? All those deadly bacteria and viruses are man-enabled......and every single human being on this planet is either responsible for occurrence of those epidemics, pandemics, or is not.

***Raises hand and waives it back and forth until my shoulder is dislocated**
Or means they know our job sucks and we’re miserable but that’s a way to make us feel better. Here free cupcakes
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.

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!

I didn't go to that link, but if it's not about how he's an arrogant, self-absorbed, rich a*****e, then it's overlooking the obvious.

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".
