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.
Selfish a******s. I want to say serve themselves right but it doesn't just effect them.
Yes, their parents/grandparents shouldn't have to foot the bill for their stupidity.
Load More Replies...Very selfish of these people. Someone actually posted on Facebook that it is her right to go back to work and get back to her life, the government has no business stopping them. As a high-risk person, I thinked her profusely for allowing me to stay home and work for the rest of my natural life. My husband nailed it this morning... no one knows how to interact with strangers. I was raised to think about how my actions affect others. A tantrum at school interrupts class and keeps the teacher from doing her job, so figure out a way to calm down. Talking during church keeps others from hearing the word. I taught my son the same thing. Hence, we believe we're doing what we SHOULD do to protect not only ourselves, but also everyone else we are around. Thanks to our current administration, specifically, people have forgotten how to cooperate and compromise with other humans. It's all attack and defer and lie. TRUTH PEOPLE!
Good riddance.. I feel that if people want to be ignorant and protest that this virus is fake and that they "want haircuts" then so be it.. get the virus, be sick/die and be gone so that the rest of us who take it seriously and take precautions can move on and start living again. A little harsh? Sure.. but I can't stand these people and it makes me laugh when they actually end up sick.
Natural selection. Let the idiots take themselves out,.
Load More Replies...What jerks! Their freedom ends where the next person's nose begins. A big part of liberty is responsibility. You do not deserve freedom unless you can exercise self-discipline.
Wisconsinite here. We're not all this stupid. And these folks got exactly what they deserved.
And now the order is running out it NEEDS to stay in place, we haven't reached our peak yet
Is this true? Checking internets now.....ETA: I've found mention of 71 voters testing positive, not protesters. Anyone find a news article on this?
https://www.channel3000.com/72-got-covid-19-after-being-at-large-event/.
Load More Replies......all of these protesters should be arrested and quarantined immediately...after all, in a sense they are knowingly inciting violence. They are guilty of putting others at risk...and yet these a******s will be the first to line up when there is a vaccine available (not for a long time, but eventually) pushing others who have done all they can to be safe and respectful of others...when that time comes, all of these protesters should be identified and only be treated AFTER everyone else...Let them learn that a human life is more important than a damn haircut!
I need to know if this is true. I don't wish that virus on anyone, but the irony of it!
https://upnorthnewswi.com/2020/05/08/more-than-70-covid-positive-after-attending-large-event/
Load More Replies...I am becoming convinced we need to have separate shopping days for masks vs no mask with thorough cleaning between. The non masks will help build herd immunity and slow down the spread while the rest of us wait for a vaccine. A mask is still not protective against stupidity.
I'd rather they just didn't let the "no-mask" fools in the store at all. There would be much less spread to normal people if they make the crazies stay home.
Load More Replies...1. They are gonna say Corona aint that bad, and "they know because they had it" and 2: Afterwards they believe they are immune so "quit the bs , its keeping them from living normal.lives" Wich they deserve now even more. They think. Pffttt
Well, except the ones who die or have permanent, untreatable lung damage, or covid toes or blood clots to the lungs or whatever other horrible consequence this disease turns out to have next.
Load More Replies...If at least this would happen only in America.
Load More Replies...There were 75 new cases, but, all of them were not at the protest, it takes up to two weeks to test positive, so they had to have been exposed prior to the protest, test results sometimes take 3 to 4 weeks. Check your facts!
Not true, check it out. 75 people did test positive but they were not all at the protest, and it takes up to two weeks after exposure to test positive, so they must have been exposed prior to the protest.
My "aunt" brought my 4-year-old cousin to that! I havent seen him, and I'm worried...
The sad thing is they still want to go to bars and bowling alleys and tell each other it's still a hoax.
If they choose to demonstrate, their end justifies what they mean. they don't care about even their own lives. I have no concern over these idiots. Let them non-live their sorry selfish lives - regardless how short it may be!
I was wondering just today how many of the arseholes who want their haircuts and freedom came down with Covid a week later
I think all them "Good People" oughta hold a really "Big rally" in a really "Huge" auditorium for about 6 weeks minimum.
These are the idiots who claim that requiring them to wear masks violates their rights. Did they object like this when they were forced to wear clothes, too?
And the governor just reopened retail stores with a limit of five people. How many stores do you think are actually going to listen to that? And masks are only encouraged, not required. This is gonna go sooooo bad. And all because the rich a******s wanted to get their artisan beer and cheese or some s**t like that.
Some were, obviously, but they would have been in previous days counts as they had to be infectious during the event. These people are in the window of time to have caught it there and have admitted to being at a large event.
Load More Replies...Can we ..I dunno...throw the idiots in jail till this thing blows over? Like..it's perfectly fair for them to catch Covid, but I don't want them spreading it to others who are trying to follow procedure, and I don't want the nurses and doctors dealing with these idiots either.
Is it petty that I hope they can't get toilet paper
Load More Replies...My partner works on a building site. He showers every morning before leaving home, and yet his bed sheets are filthy before the end of the week!
Maybe suggest to him that he start showering at night before bed, rather than in the mornings. Nighttime showers are very relaxing and can help sleep anyway.
Load More Replies...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!
Load More Replies...Maybe we should also try harder to fight irresponsibility, stupidity, and ignorance with jokes.
my dad was telling my mom that there was this face masks had penises on it and if u can see it then ur not 6 fit apart.
My mom saw that too! Now she won’t stop talking about it... SHE WONT STOP SERIOUSLY SOMEONE HELP MEEEEEE
Load More Replies...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).
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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".
