Shared laughter has been giving us strength in adversity, helping us feel a little bit more in control when the future looks so heckin' uncertain. Most importantly, the jokes and memes about the pandemic bring us together and help us to feel connected, from one isolation pod to another.
So, Bored Panda continues to collect the funniest gags about the Coronapocalypse from around the Internet so that you have at least some sense of comfort in this tiring fight against our common microscopic enemy. Continue scrolling and enjoy our list, and if you finish it wanting more, check out our earlier posts on the topic here, here, and here.

Jokes aside, there are some good coronavirus-related news stories and lately, the thing everyone's talking about is the Oxford vaccine. The BBC reported that data from early-stage human trials of a COVID-19 vaccine developed by Oxford University has positive results. It appears safe and triggers an immune response. Trials involving 1,077 patients showed the injection led to them making antibodies and T-cells that can fight the coronavirus. It is, however, still too soon to know if this is enough to offer protection and larger trials are underway.
The vaccine, which is called by a name that could very well be a gamer's nickname, ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, isn't the only one that's providing us hope. The New York Times reports that researchers around the world are developing more than 160 vaccines against the coronavirus, and 26 vaccines are already undergoing human trials. Typically, vaccines require years of painstaking research and testing before reaching the public, but scientists are racing to produce a safe and effective vaccine by next year.
Until then, we'll have to make do with jokes and memes.
Wussy whining cry babies. We ALL hate wearing masks but we do it because it stops unknowingly sick people from spreading germs on everything and making germs harder to avoid.
Not a nice answer but an understandable one. Being nice doesn't always work.
There's an open letter from rich people asking their government to let them pay more taxes. https://en.mercopress.com/2019/06/25/in-an-open-letter-us-super-rich-want-to-pay-higher-taxes. NOTE: "The letter pointed out that fellow billionaire Warren Buffett has said he is taxed at a lower rate than his secretary."
I doubt that letter has Steve Bezos attached to it

I'm 100% fine with the idea of redistributing billionaires' money for the people. Killing them? Eh...Only if they don't surrender their fortunes when asked.
Economy is more than GDP. It's also supply chains. How many people would die from broken supply chains? From being unable to buy medicines or other necessities?
Trump is more than happy to let the virus roll thru and it hits the two income and social groups the hardest. Which are ironically the same two groups of society that he initiated cuts on first thing into office.
Its so fun watching small minds think so hard on a issues that wasnt even real, its so cute watching your liberal minds try so hard but yet fail everytime
I'd be down to kill Jeff Bezos. He's old enough, he'll die sooner or later anyway
This is perfect economic logic, but missing from Washington DC, of course.
I much prefer your idea, the start of socialism and fairness and equality
Never forget that the working class make the billionaires' fortunes possible. The 99% could last a lot longer without the 1% than the other way around. The biggest job creators are small businesses.
Have a feeling there're gonna be people yelling "COMMUNIST!!!!" in the comment lol
This virus isn’t going anywhere. Killing our economy is not going to save anyone. We will all get it eventually. How your body reacts to it is up to you. Exercise, spend time in the sun daily, eat well and rest. Wear a mask so others don’t get sick if you’re a carrier. Simple. It’s not rocket science.
True. The problem comes from when an individual works 40+ hours a week, often in a job that is unhealthy in some way, to barely be able to take care of the necessities much lees luxuries like medical care, and then the rich individual who pays less tax than you says the poor should learn manage their money. It leaves a bad taste. We know not all rich people are like this, but there are enough who do and are obvious about it, that the stereotype develops

Don't forget the KKK masks! When it's in the name of racism masks are fine
They don't go to hospitals but social media instead. Social media site are still the best address to treat your injured ego.
My view is that the American public has been conditioned (or brainwashed, it basically amounts to the same) to respond emotionally to political questions. This makes it easy to influence them in order to keep them occupied with emotionally laden issues, abortion being one example, while the ultrarich and the powerful mega-corporations quietly go about their business. Trump was/is a weirdo made-in-heaven president for them, a true master at distraction as he is.
Aren't they the ones that are usually against free access to safe abortions, too? And for capital punishment? And against free high-quality education for all? How about that?
/sarcasm = on/ We're not ignoring doctors and scientists, we're just saying that they don't know anything compared to that random strange dude on the internet that never left his cellar but knows all about 5G radiation, vaccinating mind controlling chips into our body and how masks are meant to shut us up. /sarcasm = off/
And we all know that almost all bank robberies go wrong because they usually faint before they get to the end of "Put the money in the ..." Several scientific studies have shown that an alarming amount of bank robbers have early-onset dementia because of a repeated lack of oxygen while practicing in front of the mirror. NO! Do Not Quote Me On That!
The Pandemic Team was created after the Ebola crisis. In other words, when politicians finally realized just how much modern global trade and travel contribute to diseases spreading worldwide before we even realize it. They understood how keeping an eye on rising disease spread, using reliably reported data to track them, statistics to predict potential paths of the spread, and sending trained professionals to help contain it, can help us either prevent—-or at least prepare for—-possible global outbreaks, since prevention is our best protection, especially if the disease has no cure/vaccine. You know, like COVID-19.
Dude. Don't confuse the covidiots with facts. It doesn't work. -from a retired teacher
LOL This is hilarious... they think it will be over by December? XD
That's the thing that all your smarts were stored on ! Put it back cause it already shows !
And that is why you are still around to shout your well-functioning lungs out, come next summer!
Influenza... the predecessor of Corona. Where they've been, Corona follows.
My husband is British, and has continually considered, then put off, going for US citizenship. Used to bother me, but now I’m glad. I sponsored him to come here, now he can sponsor me to go with him to Canada if our last chance to fix this mess we’ve been dropped in is totally flushed down the toilet in November.

I am from Slovakia. We were first to wear masks in march. We have best covid rates per capita in Europe. Reopened again, just still wearing masks. Follow the rules. It works. It's that easy.
sadly Bashicka, even "easy" will be "too hard" for the lazy / stupid.... :(

My country has 0 cases for almost 2 months now, although the last patient sadly passed away. She recovered from COVID19, but the aftereffect of the illness put her into a coma, which eventually caused her to pass away. :( Even though we don't have COVID19 cases anymore here, I wish that people would still be aware of the virus and not pretend that it is already fully eradicated (because IT'S NOT) but people keep on having mass gatherings and not adhering to social distancing rules. :/
My locql liquor store/bottle redemption has empty spots on the shelves and the bottle redemption has to shut down every couple days to play ctch up
Not sure yet but these are either sadly hilarious or hilariously sad.
Hey, does anyone remember the excellent memes at the start of the pandemic? Those were funny. These things are mostly just sad. A whole lot of really dull stuff about masks.
Why don't you create something great since you're so great?

These are quite possibly the least funny "jokes" yet. I'm all for dark, dry or even a bit of gallows humor, but this is all just... unfunny.
"dark initiation ritual"? Wow, you all have really, truly gone off the deep end. Whose "ritual" are masks a part of? What sources are you using?
