Not every idea that seems absolutely genius at 2AM is equally brilliant when it comes to life. The truth is, most of our "eureka!" moments turn out to be pretty crappy designs and yet nobody takes a lesson from it. Check out our previous compilations, aka homage to "what de heck they were thinkin'," with designs gone wrong here, here, and here.
But the coronavirus has brought a new source of inspiration, a fresh gust of wind, and some food for thought for all the great minds out there. In turn, they paved the way for the second wave of crappy designs. And this time, as you can guess, it’s all things corona. From nonsensical posters showing people holding hands to fight the pandemic, to very questionable virus infographics, these designs do little good. So get your popcorn ready and tune in for Bored Panda’s crappy design compilation: the corona edition.

Not The Best Way To Be Inspirational
Crappy corona designs that may spread misinformation and cause false impressions about the virus are not the only thing to worry about. In fact, many Americans are also worried about how crappily their government is dealing with reopening after the lockdown. USA Today reports that according to this survey, almost 3 in 4 Americans, which makes up 71%, said they’re concerned about lifting social distancing restrictions too quickly.
Robert Griffin, the research director for the Democracy Fund Voter Study Group, believes that such data suggests that Americans are likely not to engage in leisure activities even if they reopen right now. “You can reopen a lot of things, the bars and restaurants can come back, you can try to reopen schools and send kids back to them, you can try to have larger events occurring ... for more than 10 people, but this really doesn't mean that people are going to necessarily engage in them," he said.

Apparently Nothing Anymore
Meanwhile, Bankrate's Opening the Economy survey, done on May 5-6, showed that Americans aren't comfortable visiting businesses right away. To the questions “If businesses opened in your area on or before Memorial Day with added safety measures, how long do you think it will be before you are comfortable visiting them?”, only 22% said “within one week,” 19% said “one month to less than three months,” and 13% said they’ll wait until the vaccine.
The University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IMHE) is now estimating that the US will reach 135,000 deaths by August 1 due to several states easing their lockdowns. It has almost doubled since the last prediction with an estimate of 60,308 deaths.

This Hand Sanitizer Bottle That Looks More Like A Drink
You wouldn't be a moron. The moron was the company that designed this bottle. It's a basic safety rule for dangerous stuff: never pack or bottle it in a container that makes it look like food/drink.
Load More Replies...If i recall correctly, some bottlers have switched part of the production to hand sanitizer. Guess they just use the same bottles they had.
Some booze companies have done that in Canada but they make sure they're clearly labeled and used totally different labels so people could see the difference.
Load More Replies...Maybe they just ran out of bottles? Or they had a whole warehouse of these and thought "These will do".
I actually have this at home and every time I pass it on the counter, I'm like what's this drink? LOL
Is there a shop that sells this with the can of turbo radiator coolant?
Isn't there some laws to protect children ? about poisons must Not go in food containers ??
It's just ethanol. Does your vodka come with childproof caps?
Load More Replies...Look how wrinkly the label is. Someone clearly took it off a different bottle and slapped it onto this one.
I actually have this at home and I keep thinking it's a bottle of water on the counter!
First it isn't the best design, second I haven't seen a water bottle with a red flip top cap. So the cap would make me look closer at the bottle, as would the cloudy looking water. Third the lable needs to say in bigger letters that this is hand sanitizer.
I was complaining to my mom that I wanted vodka and she dropped of s bottle of sanitizer that looked like a liquor bottle - I was not amused.
Actually, in my country I've seen a lot of paint thinners and other chemicals in this type of bottle and with this style of label, so for me this looks completely unlike a drink.

That other day I had an epiphany why so many people wear their masks without covering their noses - probably because they cannot stand their own breath :D
