Coronavirus is continuing to spread across the world with more than 18 million confirmed cases in 188 countries. At the same time, however, the jokes mocking it are making their way around the globe just as fast. People on social media continue to roast the pandemic and by now, it's obvious that the savage jokes are here to stay. Until the vaccine, at least.

Bored Panda handpicked the best viral posts about COVID-19 from last week and after you're done scrolling through them, check out our previous lists here, here, and here.

As the number of deaths due to COVID-19 continues to climb, the world is eagerly waiting for a vaccine.

A leading pandemic adviser to the UK government has suggested that a vaccine against the coronavirus will be available in 2020 and 2021.

"In the last seven months since I have been involved, the progress is absolutely staggering and there are now first-generation vaccines," Sir Jeremy Farrar, the director of health research charity Wellcome Trust, told the BBC's HARDtalk program. "There’s probably five or six of them - from the US, from Europe, from China, from Russia - that are becoming available."

Despite the optimism, he also urged caution, saying the first generation of vaccines wouldn't solve everything.

RELATED:

    Meanwhile, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization, said at a news briefing that there was "no silver bullet at the moment - and there might never be".

    Mr. Tedros advised people around the world to comply with measures such as social distancing, hand-washing and mask-wearing, saying: "Do it all."

    "A number of vaccines are now in phase 3 clinical trials, and we all hope to have a number of effective vaccines that can help prevent people from infection," he said. "However, there is no silver bullet at the moment, and there might never be. For now, stopping outbreaks comes down to the basics of public health and disease control: testing, isolating and treating patients, and tracing and quarantining their contacts."

    So it looks like our safety still depends a lot on our own efforts. And memes, of course.

    Or better yet, get a HAZMAT team to scrape off some of the wall of your lungs, and dump it into Trump's coffee.

    Well, the smart ones stayed on the sand and didn’t go near or into the water. You know, like the smart ones going to the store or work (and pretty much nowhere else) dutifully wearing their masks and staying 6’ away from others, while the cocky SOBs wade right into tightly packed (like sardines) crowds of their fellow covidiots who are also not wearing masks, and probably sneezing and coughing openly to boot.

    You could see who the "enemy" was. Maybe too late, but still well enough to know you needed a much bigger boat. COVID19 is deadly strictly because of the simple fact, anyone will do. It's does not discriminate, it's not a gay disease, a homeless disease....it doesn't care. Trump called it the Chinese Virus and rage towards any Asian rose. The it has brought out the worst in people, and the best. Americans are spoiled. And there is plenty we have to face in our role in what we've turned a blind eye too, or thought someone else can deal with it. We kill our own, we allow others to take and take and take as long as they don't take from my share. Poverty, ignorance, b******t politicians, people who claim to be Christian killing in Gods name. We have sharks on two legs that make jaws hide in the little castle of the goldfish we just flushed down the toilet

    Honestly, the people in Jaws had a better freedom-based argument that it should be their own choice whether to go to the beach--it's not like the shark was going to follow them home and bite some innocent person who happens to be at the grocery store at the same time as them.

    It's not the population that makes the difference. It's an incompetent government, refusing to take the lead and give people the means and the unbiased information they need to know why and what they have to do to avoid spreading the virus. Instead the potus has been denying, lying, misinforming, dividing, undermining and plain and simple refusing to take control and responsibility. You can safely say that Trump single-handedly created the mess.
