35 Times People Spotted Others Acting Like Morons During This Outbreak And Shared Pics Online
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.

Stupid Mask
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.
I have am a cancer survivor with a compromised immune system and have been wearing a mask since last September to protect myself, nothing new to me.
Load More Replies...It's none of anybody's business if I wear a real mask or a hand sewn mask. Mind your own business people.
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.
Load More Replies...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.
I live in TX which idiotic Trump lapdog Governor Abbott has decided to "re-open" TX as we are facing our deadliest period starting this week into next month. 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.
Yeap. Opened us back up three days after Dallas had it's most deaths from the C-19 so far.

Perhaps the store stupidly assumed no one would be lined up at both machines at the same time?
No virus can move. They are more like dust with the capacity to force your cells to reproduce the virus instead of reproducing the cell.
All The Beans At My Local Grocery Store Are Out Except This One
I think the price has to do more with the stock. $9.99 a pound. Corona bean makes a specific soup, perfect for a special occasion.
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.

Well I would suggest that this was taken in the UK and I doubt that there are many people here who would drink that American p**s as their first choice ;)
Yes but if there’s a lock down a Brit would suck the alcohol out of a deodorant stick if there was no other alternative.

Someone Tell Snorkel Lady That It Won't Work
I mean it is making the trip from the air to the lungs longer lol Also she’s not breathing all over everyone. I wish they could do a myth busters style test on all these ideas so see how much they help stop spreading it and stop getting it
Also, this may be better on the “peoples question’s for Americans” BP article but WHY do so many people in America wear sunglasses in supermarkets? (Case in point, the lady in the top photo wearing black). I see it ALL the time in pictures, and on YouTube videos people film in supermarkets, loads of shoppers wear sunglasses. I know the US is way sunnier than my country, but why do people wear glasses INDOORS?
It would work at least a little bit had she protected the top of the tube with some kind of filter / fabric

Load More Replies...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.
Well
There were several officials on camera with their entire nose exposed. These are the people in charge. Let that sink in.
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.

To Make This Safe
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.
This also allows you to spray the button panel with disinfectant without damaging the electrical contacts behind the buttons.
Load More Replies...Friends hotel did same, easy to sanitize no little crannies to worry about.
I like the person that taped a foam pad to the elevator and filled it with one-use-only toothpicks that people could use to push their button. There was also a cup taped to the wall for people to dispose of used toothpicks.
I gave you and up vote. And that's disgusting.
Load More Replies...Saran Wrap and tape. I think I see where they’re going with this idea, but doubt they thought it the whole way through.
It's to protect the mechanics. People are going around spraying things like this with sanitizers and it messes up the controls. Grocery stores had to put plastic over all their credit card machines at self check-out because of this reason.

Ugh, a secretary at my doctor's office was doing something like this. Makes me scared for humanity
So, My Work Had A Meeting About The Importance Of Social Distancing Today
Okay class, our subject for today is social distancing, but first, lets get in a big circle and talk
To Shield The Face
First they go -"We don't have protection". Then they go - "The gear is not comfortable".
Well, it’s okay to solve problems as they arise. Restrictive gear can make things uncomfortable and do damage. However, this is really stupid. Use gear effectively sonits not wasted, or leave it for the people that need t more or can do more good with them.
Load More Replies...The problem with these masks is the condensation builds up and causes fog and moisture droplets.
how efficient is a faceplate anyways ? It might protect you from large spittle, but the stuff in the air ?
What stuff in the air? The virus doesn't float around, it's in the droplets that settle. Those masks also stop you touching your face. Their supervisor is careless.
Load More Replies...Confused how people in the comments are like omg that face mask isn’t suctioned onto their face it’s not doing anything. But no ones like that face shield won’t help you.
Seriously, how do people believe this kind of "mask" helps?

Maybe it's just to remind her not to touch her face? She could at least have lined the part near her nose and mouth with something.

This Guy Was Eating His Food Wearing The Same Gloves He's Been Wearing Since He Walked In
Ewww! What the actual. Are people really this ignorant and missing the ENTIRE point of wearing gloves? At first I was amazed at the number of adverts and posters telling people how to wash their hands properly. As if people don’t already know but it wasn’t long before realising the horrible truth that people obviously don’t know!
Yes, people think gloves are magical devices that magically ward off all the evil viruses. Gloves are no different from hands when it comes to spreading germs.
Load More Replies...I've been seeing this everywhere. I honestly think that people who have never worked in fields where they have to use gloves regularly, where they know all about glove safety, just don't understand it. That and finding gloves is like panning for gold in pond water right now. I had an easier time finding toilet paper.
I think it's time to explain simply to people and tell them "imagine the virus is like s**t. " Because he had s**t in his gloves, I think he would act differently ... Maybe ... I hope....
I am old enough to know that way too many people let the brains they were equipped with at birth rot in disuse.......
My comment regarding others? "Keep wearing the used, dirty, foggy ones, Sir. Your life may be cut short by buying new ones every few days, which of course you Don't!"

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner Doesn't Seem To Understand How To Put On A Medical Mask Either. Mayor, Your Nostrils Are Showing
I don't know if it is because people don't understand how to wear them or that some people can't deal with having their mouth and nose covered at the same time. 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.

It Was Painful Watching This Happen
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.
I am so glad that you didn't just attack and make fun of the kid. Pay by credit if you can, contact your credit companies for help. Epidemiologists and virologists agree that respiratory droplets pose the most danger, not indirect contact. That said, they also urge us to clean high frequency touch surfaces.

Protesters Against Quarantine Back Again At The Ohio Statehouse
So go out. Take walks, with some social distance... but stop being douche-canoes and putting people at risk! As much as I don't care about these people getting sick, I do care about the exponential spread of the disease and trying not to overwhelm our hospitals.
I'm more worried that the whole lot of them will get sick and end up at area hospitals at the same time putting further strain on an already overwhelmed system. If you don't care about yourselves...at least care about the doctors and nurses that are risking their lives everyday to help people through this virus. Don't add to the sh** storm they're already having to deal with.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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).

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.

I’ve seen this a lot, with both tills open. Then people start piling up once they have paid and need to pack.
If it's a Walmart it will be no problem only one or two checkstands are ever open out of the standard 38 in those stores.
What's the point of this if it allows people to stand side by side? Sounds like they're just paying lip service to a global crisis.
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.
Seen Today In The Atlanta Airport - Babies In Comforter Bags
Looks like it could be a baby stroller rain cover. It's obviously open at the front as dad's hands are in there. Kid's not going to suffocate.
Yeah, but it defeats the purpose if Dad's hands are UNDER the plastic covering. Who knows what's he's touched and now he's touching his kid.
Load More Replies...That makes me curious... Hey parents how do you protect your babies during this time? I mean it sounds impossible. if you are a single parent who has to the leave the house for essentials, or maybe the baby needs medical attention, what do you do?
Actually, you can only hope for the best. As bad as it sounds, but it's all that's left to do. 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
Load More Replies...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
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.

Putting them in a plastic container...If its open at the bottom, that means its open to everything. This is worse than useless, and it makes you look like an awful parent

P.S. I'm sorry if this offends you.
He's A Little Confused But He Got The Spirit
Masks are scarce and hard to come by and therefore not available to everyone so you put the guy down because he’s trying to protect himself?
Trying to protect himself? By covering both his mouth and his nose with his hands? You are kidding, right? Or did you still not grasp how viruses usually spread? Yes, that is by us touching either our very own eyes, nose, or mouth with our very own hands.

Just act natural. They might not know that you forgot your mask....
Apparently, We Have All Been Doing It Wrong
Must protect the Dark Lord! This man is but a humble servant...

Not a horrific idea in a bind. Some people can’t get masks so they improvise!!
Ye,s I saw one woman wearing a disposable diaper over her nose/mouth.
Load More Replies...At least he made an effort. Unlike 1/2 of the people I see out and about.
Exactly. The first step is caring and making an effort. Instead of trashing and making fun, give useful alternatives. Having fun and making fun of someone is different by the way ppl
Load More Replies...the point that most of you neglect is that one side of the napkin/pad is full on, UN-LEEK-ABLE plastic..plastic that is there to stop FLUIDS escaping..and if fluids cant get through then how in the hell are you suppose to breath through it with the sticky side to your face..??
God damn it honey! I need those! I can't even find TP right now.
There are photos of these all over the internet. It isn't a bad idea in a bind.
You Touch 4 Doors Before The Time Clock. This Is How Management Is Protecting And Caring For Us
Or this might not have anything to do with sanitation and everything to do with people clocking in for co-workers.
Either way, they aren't doing enough.
Load More Replies...HAHA - Had the same issue. Travelled 48Km on a train, managed to touch nothing that wasn't mine and then had to touch 6 doors to get from the parking lot to my desk.. Go figure.
Maybe they have changed work hours due to COVID-19 and the electronic system isn't set up to handle it?
A Group Of Friends Still Getting Together And Partying Regardless Of The Quarantine Rules. Obviously Standing Less Than 6 Feet Apart But It’s Okay Because They’re All Wearing Face Masks
Yeah , i can imagine that picture being used for contact tracing a cluster infection *facepalm*
Load More Replies...Not Sure This Counts As Social Distancing
It certainly doesn't and in all civilised countries all services that require close contact had to close.
I've Honestly Never Read The Instructions, But I'm Pretty Sure This Isn't The Most Effective Use Of A Mask Right Now
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.
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.
My Local Albertsons Trying To Keep The Buttons Clean... I Don’t Think They Get It
hopefully its so they can spray it after each use and not get the electronic part of it wet?
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.
Load More Replies...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..
Our local store did this so they could spray it with disinfectant between uses without damaging the machine...
You’re Wearing Your Mask Backwards
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.
Load More Replies...This is the kind of a*****e who thinks they are American. This is NOT the America I'm a part of.
This is not the America that a lot of us are a part of. It's morons like this that all Americans a bad name.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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."
Average Joe, fine, but the people in charge don't even know masks cover the nose? It's not just one or two either. Maybe a good culling isn't such a bad thing.
Downside to that is the increased risk to dedicated medical staff.

Hey, thanks for your comment. We've removed the photo in question.

Reminds me of that NBA player who touched all the mics as a joke, then got it.
Load More Replies...I can not say this enough: COVID19 is real and it is very serious. Please stop joking around and having to hang out with your friends and just stay home. We will get through this a lot faster if people would just do what is asked of them by health professionals. Unless you have to be out, just stay in your house.
IF YOU ARE WEARING GLOVES/(non-homemade) MASKS INCORRECTLY, YOU ARE USING UP RESOURCES THAT OTHERS NEED. Hard-stop. Almost every single one of these posts shows how people's stupidity is causing even greater PPE shortages than we already have. A nurse could have used that mask to save a life.
Being in the medical field I want to agree with your comment, but then again must say this: most of my family & friends have very few masks or gloves to use. We are all reusing what little we have, sanitizing masks & gloves so we can re-wear them. Which may be the case for some of the folks in these picss. But, idiots who aren't wearing them properly, their noses, mouths not even covered by their masks! Now that is a waste.
