Our lives are changing and we’re finding out that adapting to the “new normal” is harder than it looks on paper. While most of us occasionally slip up, there are some people who have completely left rational thought by the roadside the moment the quarantine came into effect.

Internet users can’t help but poke fun at how some people are clueless about how viruses work, so Bored Panda has collected some of the funniest photos of people doing dumb things during the pandemic. Scroll down, enjoy the coronavirus stupidity, and upvote your fave pics, dear Pandas. And let us know in the comments if you’ve encountered any Covidiots so far.

Avoiding products that have the name “Corona” in them is one thing, but microwaving money to “disinfect” it (pro-tip: don’t ever do this) and disregarding safe facemask and glove use is a whole ‘nother ball game entirely.

What dumbasses. And other people who wear it have compromised immune systems who HAVE to protect ourselves somehow. My aunt and uncle who are doctors even said that wearing masks is a smart thing to do.

Hey at least you care enough to cover your face. I hate watching the idiots that wear the mask and only cover their mouth. I mean common sense saying you breathe through your nose and your mouth. Do they think as long as I cover mouth it won't get in my body. I had some guy look at the clerk ugly because they didn't have their mask covering their nose and the clerk told him he needed to cover his face right or he needs to leave. It's getting crazy out there.

The thing is, you can have the virus and completely without symptoms. Wearing a mask might keep you from spreading it to others. Seems like a no brainer.

Not to mention there's been almost ZERO testing in a state with 30+ million ppl. It's like re-opening" a city that is briefly in the eye of a hurricane. Blue skies? We're safe! Absolute morons.

    Royal Coronas are large white European runner beans that are similar to Greek gigandes but bigger, richer and sturdier. They are about twice the size of a lima bean and, unlike many other large white beans, the skin doesn't slip off when you soak them.

    Fear makes us do stupid, dumb, irrational things. No matter how cool a cucumber you might be in fair weather conditions, once the coronacrap hits the metaphorical fan, your true character comes out. And the fear of the virus has created public panic in some places.

    For instance, in China, there have been reported cases of people hunting down pet cats and dogs due to misinformation about how the virus works. Meanwhile in Malaysia, some citizens were busy spreading rumors that coronavirus patients turned into zombies.

    What you're seeing here is actually the opposite of what's being described. The Corona beer has been flying off the shelves so it's being restocked by the pallet. Notice further down that not everything is on a pallet, and those two empty pallets were probably more Corona.

The company temporarily closed down the restaurant when it found out about the notice. Online rumors about the coronavirus circulating in Guangzhou led to hundreds of Africans being evicted from apartments and hotels just last week.

    I've not seen it myself, but apparently some people believe there is no Corona virus, but the symptoms are caused by 5G microwaves. Or somehow that the microwaves carry the virus? Not sure...

    We can judge all we want, but elementary human psychology tells us that fear changes the way that we see the world and react to things. In times of panic, we’re far more likely to conform and turn to herd-mentality so that we can feel safe.

    If your friends, family, and neighbors are doing something, the odds are, we’ll be doing it as well. The best thing we can do is try to calm down and bring a bit of logic and common sense back into our lives.

    Chuck was an interesting one. Not only was his entire nose exposed, but he then removed the mask by grabbing it from the front, and stuck it in his pocket. Maybe he was just showing everyone what not to do....?

    Actually . . . it's possible she just pulled the mask down when she was away from anyone else, after coming out of a crowded area. I have a very hard time breathing through masks and end up lightheaded and gasping. When I am safely away from people, I do pull the mask away from my nose and/or mouth to get a couple of deep breaths so I don't pass out.

    It's not THAT bad an idea. The buttons might be a bit more difficult to clean if you wanted to sanitize them - but in this case you'd just change the complete cover. If you really do that regularly, it might help a bit.

I am one of those people, I feel like I am suffocating if I have both covered. I can't even snorkel because of the type of goggles you wear and then having the snorkel in the mouth.

    Yeah, cos I’m sure the kid being paid a s****y wage, being forced to go to work at the same time global news is urging people to stay at home as much as they can, probably working 12 hour + shift and the only protection they get from their managers is a pair of cheap gloves thrown at them at the start of the shift really cares by that point. And newsflash: if the gloves aren’t replaced after each transaction, there is no point in wearing them as they don’t offer any protection to the wearer or the people they are exchanging items/money with.

    This is what Safeway (grocery) cashiers do, handling every item. I tried to hold up items so the cashier could scan without touching, but she didn’t get it, or wasn’t willing to be bothered. Customer after customer. She wore gloves, unchanged, and the card reader/keypad was covered with Press and Seal -also touched by mank checking out over time. It’s frightening that there are people out there who are busy and uninformed or incurious who see the gloves and plastic and feel safe because of them. There you go.

Don't add to the sh** storm they're already having to deal with.

    Omg, I had no idea there were people protesting against quarantining and isolation. Have these people lost brain cells or something. I am so glad I live in Australia where our government has put in strict measures early. We have had 6,458 confirmed cases Australia wide and my state has had zero new cases for the past 2 days. Isolation and quarantine are working. people like this are the ones that can undo all the hard work the majority of the world is doing to protect us.

    I live in Ohio, our Governor also put in really aggressive measures on this and was one of the first US Governors to do that. The number of new cases of COVID-19 here is far below what many experts feared b/c of those measures and that most people are complying with them. Most Ohioans strongly agree w/ our Gov. for being so aggressive in doing that, but that's what these few misguided people (out of a state of millions of people) are protesting.

    I live where this is, and I've been employed by The Ohio State House. Fortunately it's fair to say these fools are distinctly in the minority. Our Gov., Mike DeWine (who was inside giving his usual, reasonable points about why his stay-at-home orders must go on - which prompted this protest), and other statewide officials (all Republicans) have been clashing w/ Trump b/c they've taken the whole situation so much more seriously than him, and to their credit, have taken bold measures to curb this thing, ahead of most other states and Trump. Right now DeWine's approval rating is through the roof in Ohio, b/c he'd pushed so hard to put in such aggressive measures on this. But, our state has about 11.75 million people, so you'll have some eccentrics and extremists. (Face palm while chuckling).

Your comfort is not more important than someone else’s health. If you need arts and crafts for your mental health, sorry it’s tough but get that s**t delivered. You want to maintain and fix your own, it’s great to be productive but don’t think that the people working in those stores aren’t terrified and resent your a*s. It’s because we can’t trust our own government to have our best interest at heart. We are afraid, that giving up civil liberties may be permanent or allow the government or those in power to get more or deceive us for their own benefit. Look at the top of command and how proud and outspoken he is about being a bully, manipulation, swindling, and getting away with it.

    Don't assume you know what's happening here. I work at a grocery store. Sometimes I have to take it off for a brief second to let my glasses unfog, or to adjust the fit, or something similar. Sure, not ideal, but better than not using mask at all, no?

    There's so much wrong in this picture. Groceries on the right conveyer belt mean that the right register is opened. A customer at the left of the picture which means that the left register is also open. A pallet and a stool placed so people have to move to the left, getting nearer to people left of them. Ss indeed, social distancing sideways is totally unnecessary.

Or you do it like the dad did in this picture and prepare to receive a shitstorm, like the comments on here. But if everybody else is wearing a mask, like they're supposed to, the little ones should be pretty safe

    Baby's under 3 are not allowed to wear masks, as they would breath in too much of the used oxygen again and they don't have enough capacity in their lungs to deal with that. So they would die of carbondioxid poisoning. All kids over 3 and obviously adults can cope and are not in danger of that happening. As to the father in this picture, he is actually really responsible. That way he doesn't only protect everybody around him from his baby coughing but is also protecting his baby. That rain cover is actually all he can do. Nobody gets excited, when you see it strapped over a stroller. The baby can breath in there, nobody needs to worry

    Alex Boyd

    5 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    If it's over a stroller, the frame of the stroller keeps it away from the baby's nose and mouth. Put it directly on the child's body, and there's a chance that when the baby inhales, it could suck the plastic up to the nose/mouth and create a seal. In this exact scenario, where the dad is holding the baby in front of him, he'd certainly notice if the child started struggling for air, but if he puts him/her down for a moment, the suffocation risk goes way up. There's a reason every plastic bag in the US has a warning printed on it not to use it in a crib or give it to a child to play with.

    From the picture it looks open at the bottom so the child can breathe. And masks doesn't really work for children that young. Even if you found a mask that small, they would probably rip it off. So this is probably not the worst way to defend a child when they need to go out.

    It certainly doesn't and in all civilised countries all services that require close contact had to close.

    Germs on the cart. He picks them up and transfers them to his unprotected face when he rubs his eyes, picks his nose, takes a smoke break. Or possibly gets germs inside his mask and then puts it on again. But to be fair, this is new for almost all of us.

    Well, no. But it doesn't look like there's anyone hear him. If I have to go out and I can see there's no one around I pull my mask down (without touching the front)

    I wonder if maybe some of these are people asked to wear a mask by a concerned loved-one but they don't personally believe that the mask will help and so out of sight they don't bother? Or just incredibly thick of course.

    Thanks. We need comments that educate. Also, the disinfectant can cause damage to the machine. I’ve been rethinking spraying down my car keys. I leave them in a ziploc bag, so I disinfect everything, my hands, then the bag before reaching for the keys but could still use them to unlock my car doors prior.

    Sick and tired of people bitching about stores that are at least TRYING. The person that posted that photo has been touching their phone, carrying it around with them in public and then whipped it out to take a photo. Unless they wash their hands after EVERY time they use their phone in public then they are spreading germs too. Yet they have the nerve to b***h when someone is at least trying a solution..

    I get this one. My pharmacy was doing this. It is Saran Press N Seal over the device. In between customers, they wiped the device down and changed the wrap at least once an hour. I thought it was a good idea.

    Our local store did this so they could spray it with disinfectant between uses without damaging the machine...

    Tell me again how America isn't bigoted. This hurts my heart... I can't understand the vast ignorance, the callousness, the hate.

    Wears that cap every day, still wears his dog tags. His life peaked 30 years ago when he was bullied in the army for 2 years before he dropped out.

    He was a paratrooper so he was in more than 2 yrs. Most likely a retiree, but there is no excuse for that bulls--t.

    It isn't just Americans. Members of my family, New Zealanders, are talking about how China is a filthy race, they need to pay all other countries for this.....the list goes on.

    That makes me sad. I upvoted your comment because it's a good thing to keep in mind- people in any country can be horrid- but it's sometimes hard to upvote things that make you sad.

    This one is so racist I can’t believe BP even posted it. If it had the N word on it, there is no way it would be on here. This one needs to be removed!

    Our local Trader Joe's has been limiting access to the store making people line up six feet apart outside the store. Two spots behind me is a guy saying "Well thank you F***ing Chinese! F***ing Commies. I hope the world goes after these guys and makes them pay! Now the rest of the world is sick because of them." I'm thinking "Because the lack of preparedness had nothing to do with it."
