The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is something that shouldn't be taken lightly, and with lockdown happening across the globe, ordinary things we do in our everyday lives have been getting challenging. One of which is grocery shopping since the risk of transmission is high if you don't take precautionary measures.

People were advised to wear masks, but not everyone got the chance to buy the proper face covers needed. Fortunately, many have creative minds, and the protective gear they have been wearing out in public will make you laugh your head off. Let's take a look at the funniest masks that may or may not save these people from getting infected.

Coronavirus, No! Corona Beer, Yes!

We often store our Halloween costumes in the closet and don't touch it for a long time, but some see this ongoing pandemic as an excuse to wear such outfits in public again. This person above didn't have a regular surgical mask, but he thought this scary mask would do.

Wearing the mask with a regular outfit would be boring, so he just completed the horrifying look with a black robe as well. He's also not going to let any virus stop him from enjoying his favorite Corona beer. He might want to stock up on more cases since Corona beer's production got suspended in April 2020.

What's Yours Is Mine, Honey

This man shares a lot of things with his wife, but we bet he never expected that he'd be getting a sanitary napkin from her. Times are tough, and it looks like the pad was all he could think of that would be able to cover his mouth and nose.

Well, as long as nobody laughs at him, he's safe. He's also going a great job with the gloves since you never know if an infected person touched the item, you're about to grab. Let's hope his wife doesn't run out of supplies because of his DIY mask.

Not A Regular Grandma; She's A Cool One

This grandma doesn't take life too seriously and is game to wear some pretty funny masks. The masks she is wearing might save her from a dust storm, but it's not exactly what we need during this virus outbreak.

Masks like these are usually bought for an affordable price online, and we bet sellers who sell these masks have a spike in earnings right now. Hopefully, people would read about the proper face covers that will work against the COVID-19 virus. And of course, everybody should take social distancing seriously.

A Stormtrooper Mask Promises Space-Level Protection

This little girl wanted to take her dog out for a walk but made a bold choice when it came to her face cover. Her mask has a design of a Stormtrooper from Star Wars. The mask was all she needed, and she didn't mind if it didn't match with the dress she wore.

Some might find the mask funny, but it looks like it would save her from getting infected. Let's just hope she knows how to clean it properly afterward, and makes sure she's the only one using it.

Now He Knows How Dogs Feel

This neck brace the man above is wearing is what dogs usually wear if they need a visit to the vet. Wearing it will make him realize how challenging the lives of dogs are when they have this on. On the bright side, this is an effective way of helping him refrain from touching his face!

He will be well protected if someone coughs or sneezes near him, and the only time this mask will cause him problems if he tries to eat while wearing it. Those who see him wearing it out in public might laugh, but at this time where our health is our top priority, other people's opinions don't matter anymore.

No Puns Intended

When you wear surgical or N95 masks, you won't have to keep touching it since it's comfortably attached to your face. This guy above, who looks like a Starbucks barista, didn't have access to any typical mask to he just made himself a make-shift shield.

He called his shield a "coughy filter." The only way he can use it is if he holds it right in front of his face, but it clearly can get tiring. He should also think of wearing gloves because that shield is nothing if it'll just land on his hands. 

Don't Take Me Literally

This guy is trying to make light out of the current situation, and he has time to share a joke on his social media that no one asked for. Everybody is thinking of ways to fight the virus, and it looks like he found the answer without even thinking that much.

He got his AntiVirus software disk and made it into a mask. In some parallel universe, real-world viruses might be able to get terminated by software. Sadly, it's not something that can happen right now, but this guy deserves a pat on the back for his humor.

Virus-Proof & War-Proof?

Going to the grocery store has been quite a challenge these days because aside from long lines, people tend to load up on toilet paper as if it was a magic shield against the virus. These two guys came to the grocery store ready for battle, and we mean it in a literal way.

They wore knight costumes that cover their entire body, so they were completely protected. That costume isn't a simple costume to put on, so you can just imagine how much time they took to prepare. Well, it's also possible that they "did it for the gram."

Fighting A Virus Or A Vampire?

We have seen many masks that come straight out of a horror film, but we don't think we've encountered a cover like this guys' mask. He made it out of newspaper, but what's catching people's attention is the garlic he attached to it.

There's a possibility he just read about it online without even fact-checking if it's valid or not. He might want to think of redesigning his mask because droplets can quickly enter the holes in his mask if he gets coughed on. Leaving the garlic at home might be better this time around.

Rainbow Unicorns Do Grocery Shopping, Too

You might have seen an inflatable dinosaur costume that many people wear for videos in their social media accounts. There's also a unicorn version of that costume, and this person photographed above thought it would be the perfect outfit to wear to the grocery store.

The costume has no holes, so it's a smart choice if you want to stay extra protected in public. It's also perfect for having a good laugh and creating content for the Internet during the quarantine. This person probably documented their grocery run on their Instagram or TikTok page.

The Best In Social Distancing Award Goes To...

This person isn't playing any games now that transmission of the virus is getting crazy. Since a lot of people don't know how to practice proper social distancing measures, he created an outfit that will not let anyone directly next to him.

The subway usually gets crowded, so this outfit would save him in case there's someone infected trying to sit or stand next to him. If you look closely, he also made sure his face is covered. Now, who's going to give this guy a "Best In Social Distancing Award"?

A Plague Doctor Needs His Quarantine Snacks Too

This mask you see above isn't just a random mask, for it was what Plague doctors wore back then for protection. It looks like people garnered that it saved them from the plague back then, so why not wear it during this plague-like pandemic, right?

This guy looks like he went to the supermarket to load up on quarantine snacks, but he wanted to make sure that he'll be 100% safe from catching the virus. It's crazy to think that people just have masks like these lying around. Was everybody a plague doctor last Halloween?

What Settling For Your Last Resort Looks Like

This woman made a lot of people smile that day she went to a convenience store because of her funny dog mask. It's hard to take her seriously when she's wearing that mask, but it looks like that was the only mask she could find that day.

We wonder if she wore a cheetah-print T-shirt because she recently became a fan of the famous Tiger King series. Joe Exotic would have loved her outfit, minus the dog mask. We hope she was able to buy herself a proper face cover by now.

No Holes Barred

Women are used to using sanitary napkins and tampons whenever it's that time of the month for them, but it looks like these products are getting used for different purposes during the pandemic. This woman doesn't want to risk inhaling any droplets of the virus, so she stuffed her noses with tampons.

The napkin, on the other hand, served as the main cover for her mouth. The photo suggests that she only wore them while she was at home, but it'd be quite funny if she wore them while grocery shopping.

When You & Your Dog Always Have Matching Outfits

If you have a dog, then you have most likely thought about a scenario wherein they got infected with the COVID-19 virus. It's possible, and reports say there are two cases in Hong Kong wherein dogs tested positive for the virus.

This woman above probably heard about the news, so she made sure that her dog was fully protected while they went out for a walk. The dog's DIY PPE clothing didn't cost its owner much money because she just used plastic. We wonder if the dog can actually see and breathe properly underneath the protective gear.

Straight From A '70s Superhero Flick

This guy's water case helmet above might protect him from inhaling the virus, but it looks like he might also have a hard time inhaling air to breathe. His DIY mask looks like how the classic superhero movie costumes looked back in the '70s.

If you search for how the old Iron Man looked, you would surely laugh. This guy didn't care if he looked funny, and what's essential for him to is to stay protected. The girl beside him looks like she's trying her best not to look so that she won't burst into laughter during the subway ride.

Life In Plastic, It's Fantastic

The Barbie Girl lyrics that go "life in plastic, it's fantastic" didn't make sense, until today. This woman probably got paranoid that someone infected could've been sitting on her seat before she entered, so she wrapped her clothes with plastic. We just don't know why she forgot to wrap her arms.

Her face mask is also enough for her to cover her mouth and nose, but it looks like she needed a big water bottle on her face just to be safe. In the current situation, we guess it's better to overprotect yourself rather than be under-protected.

Burning Man May Be Cancelled, But You're Protected!

Surgical masks are needed to protect our mouth, but we also need to make sure our eyes are protected. It is why many people wear goggles or cover their entire head with something. This woman is well protected while also looking like she's ready to go to the Burning Man festival.

Her goggles are so stylish, and her mask is unique. She would stand out in the subway since many people wear face covers that are on the funnier side. We just hope she sanitizes her mask and goggles with the right kind of alcohol or disinfectant whenever she gets back home.

Scooby-Doo & The Gang

This guy went to the grocery store, looking like he's a villain from Scooby-Doo. You can see that he's using a gas mask instead of a surgical mask, and he used a tarp as his protective clothing. He might've not felt like a fool since other people in the store also had odd outfits.

If you look closely, there is a woman in the background who also covered her whole body. Everybody seems to be realizing how much of a struggle it is to stay safe during a pandemic, but DIY outfits like this show you that you don't need to spend so much money to be protected.

Behold The Power Of The Onion!

A lot of people make masks made out of old garments, but it looks like this guy turned to vegetables during his mask-making process. He found a massive piece of onion and attached it to his face with rubber bands.

It is probably not the smartest mask idea, and his eyes are probably burning and watering. The ventilation is also probably not that good, and he could be struggling to breathe. Let's hope someone kindly gives him a proper face mask when they see him on the street with this large onion on his face.

When You Had To Cancel Your Travel Plans

Many countries around the world imposed lockdowns, and this caused people to cancel their planned vacations. Traveling is one of the worst things you can do since the risk of transmission inside an airplane is high, most especially if your seat didn't get appropriately sanitized, or if your seatmate is infected.

This guy probably had plans to go snorkeling on an island getaway, but he now has to reschedule everything. His snorkeling gear didn't get put to waste, because he now uses it for protection in the store. The goggles are a good idea, and he added a filter to the snorkel.

Taking Mask Making To Another Level

When this guy was making his mask, he probably just thought that he needed something to cover his whole face. He looks like he took a step further and connected it to a pool filter cartridge. He didn't know about proper ventilation so that he would get to breathe when he's using the mask.

You can see that inside his mask, a lot of condensation is happening, and it looks like he can't see anymore. By the looks of it, he won't last long with the mask and might end up just removing it. He might want to check Amazon if he can get proper protective gear delivered ASAP.

This Way To The Gas Mask Party

These guys, who are probably high school students, look like they are about to pull up to a party with a gas mask theme. The fact that all three of them have such masks is mind-boggling. They either got it from their dads or bought them online.

It's essential to do proper research regarding the appropriate use of a gas mask because there are people who have died from suffocation already. These boys won't need to use these gas masks anymore since everyone has to follow the stay at home order.

SpongeBob Would Be Disappointed If He Saw This

This woman went to the kitchen right away when she needed to come up with a mask. Instead of using a small towel, she grabbed a sponge and used a rubber band to attach it to her face. There are so many wrong things with her DIY mask, but it's not bothering her.

It's possible that she was in a hurry and just had to get her groceries anymore. Either way, she might want to re-think her mask choices before she regrets it. The COVID-19 virus has a higher fatality rate when it comes to older people, and it's even worse when they already have an existing illness.

My Parents Made Me Do It!

This family had travel plans during the pandemic, and it looks like they couldn't cancel. They decided that it would be best if all of them go overboard with their protective gear. They wore raincoats, surgical masks, and gloves, but what caught people's attention was the large water bottles on their heads.

They didn't want to risk being coughed or sneezed on, so the bottles act as a barrier/shield. The little girl saw someone taking a photo of her out-of-this-world protective gear, and it looks like she wasn't too happy about it.

Putting Plastic To Not-So-Good Use

If there were a word that is missing from this guy's vocabulary, that would be the word "suffocation." He is confident with the breathing skills he has that he didn't mind wearing a plastic bag over his head while shopping for his groceries.

He even made gloves out of the plastic bags as well. We wonder if drinking a considerable amount of water is his secret to staying healthy during this ongoing pandemic. It looks like he bought enough bottled water to last him for several weeks. The bananas he's looking at are an excellent choice too since he'll get to load up on vitamin B6 and potassium.

Like Father, Like Son

Kids would wear anything their parents tell them to, and it looks like this father wanted his son to have matching protective gear with him. The got it right with the surgical masks, but we guess the water bottles were the easiest and fastest way to have their faces fully protected.

The family who walked passed them most probably smiled when they saw their headgear. Why they were still going for a stroll despite the pandemic is alarming, but let's hope they were all safe. China's Wuhan area, where the virus reportedly originated, remained on lockdown for almost two months, but they've just reopened the city.

How Expert Snackers Stay Protected

Many of us love eating wherever we may go, and it looks like this man found a way to eat and stay protected from the virus at the same time. He made a mask out of an orange and attached some elastic to it so he can strap it on his face.

Realistically speaking, this mask isn't going to be good for him because he won't be able to breathe correctly, but it still might give someone an idea to create a mask that can feed you snacks. That someone will most likely be a person who has a snack addiction and can't let a minute go by without eating.

When You're Fragile Like Your Luggage

In some airports, you have the option to have your luggage wrapped in plastic. This family saw that as an inspiration and thought that wrapping themselves in plastic would allow them to stay protected from the virus while traveling. Their face masks protect their mouth and nose, but the plastic cover protects their eyes.

The cover might not be a good idea for the mother to use since the baby she's carrying might have a hard time breathing. Hopefully, the airport staff saw their situation and gave them proper protective equipment.

How To Make A Mask In Less Than A Minute

If this guy got tasked to make a protective cover on Minute To Win It, he would nail that round. The face cover he made, which is a large water bottle, didn't take too long to make because he just cut off the top area.

If he was smart about it, then he should've pierced holes so that he'll find it easy to breathe. Wearing a mask inside that bottle without any ventilation is just going to make his life harder. His cover came in handy that day since the vendor who sold him his veggies didn't even wear any masks or protective equipment.

The Different Kind Of Support A Bra May Give

At first glance, you might think that this man is wearing a regular mask. If you look closely, you'd see that he's using a bra that got cut in half. Many tutorials showing how to makes bras into masks are surfacing online, and this man surely caught up with the trend.

This guy who proudly has a standard surgical mask was so fascinated with the man's bra mask that he decided to take a sneaky selfie. It eventually spread on the internet, and here we are talking about it. We wonder if his wife knows that he cut one of her bras.

What True Love Looks Like

This man must be madly in love with his wife that he would do anything for her. We genuinely mean anything because he was willing to slap a sanitary napkin on his face to protect himself while shopping for groceries. Thankfully, he wasn't alone, and his wife was doing it as well.

They even had added protection thanks to their gloves. The couple must be planning to have a cute date night while quarantined together because they have a couple of bottles of wine in their cart. We just hope there are proper masks in their cart as well.

When All You Had Was A Huges Plastic Cover

Some people are willing to spend extra time making their protective gear, but this guy just didn't have the time. The guy looks like he just grabbed a plastic cover he found in his garage and placed it over him when he went to the store.

While this cover can save him from getting infected, he has to make sure that he disposes of it properly. The virus can still cling on to the plastic, and he might unintentionally spread it to other people. Hopefully, disinfectant or alcohol was on his shopping list that day.

Don't Mind Me, Just Doing The Joker's Groceries

No, this is not one of the Joker's henchmen trying to rob a grocery store. It's just a woman who decided to wear a creepy mask to the supermarket. The headcover looks like she made it, but drawing a face on it just made it quite creepy. The smile is just giving us Joker vibes.

These two men in front of her didn't look so happy to see her cover. The guy in blue looks like he's weirded out by what's happening, while the guy in red is still trying to process what he's seeing. The woman is utterly unbothered since no one knows her real identity.

A Mask That Makes You Look Coco-NUTS

Coconuts have a lot of health benefits, and many people like using it as an ingredient in different kinds of healthy meals. This guy probably enjoyed having a coconut to himself, but he later found a use for its shell. He made it into a face mask, and it looks like it fit him well.

Like any other fruit or vegetable that's getting turned into a mask, it would be problematic to use it because of the breathing problems you'll have. The only thing it saves you from is getting infected through inhaling the droplets. But then again, that's not enough since you need to protect your eyes too.

Just Call Me Plastic-Man

People have been trying to eliminate the use of plastics to save the environment, but this pandemic is sadly making people use plastic again. They've been using it as protective covers/gloves like this guy above. This guy still wanted to look stylish, so he wore a beanie on top of the plastic.

Something he forgot is to cut holes into his DIY plastic gloves because he's now having a hard time grabbing items he needs. The guy watching over the store is laughing at how much he's struggling because of the plastics.

Becoming One With The Dry Cleaning

Have you ever wondered how you would look like if you wore your clothes from the dry cleaners without taking the plastic covers off? This woman will show you just that, and you can see that she wants to be fully protected no matter what people might think of her.

She made an excellent choice when she put on her mask, goggles, and gloves, but it looks like she needed to be covered in plastic to feel extra safe. She's even wearing thick garments inside, so you can just imagine how hot it is for her underneath everything.

You Finally Have A Reason To Wear Beskar Armor

Star Wars fans around the world are probably rejoicing right now because they have a perfect excuse to wear their costumes despite no comic convention going on. These guys wore their Beskar Armor even if all they did was take their dogs out for a walk.

The last time they had an excuse to wear those costumes was probably Halloween. They successfully protected themselves, but it looks like their dogs didn't have any kind of protection at all. They might want to order Star Wars armor for their dogs for the next time they do some dog-walking.

Sporting Coronavirus-Chic

Naomi Campbell made a ton of headlines when she wore a full-on Hazmat suit when she had to hop on a flight while this whole pandemic was mid-swing. Being the real trendsetter that she is, it didn't take long before other women followed in her footsteps.

This woman you see above is a true fashionista because she paired her Hazmat suit with high heels. She even had a hat to wear, but she might want to think twice before wearing it since she's already touching it with her gloves that might've touched infected surfaces.

Staying Protected: Blogger Edition

There are a lot of men and women who make a fortune from being fashion bloggers, and it looks like this ongoing pandemic will not stop them from creating content. This guy is overflowing with style, and he wanted to show everyone at the subway that you can be both stylish and protected.

He protected his mouth and nose with a gas mask, while his sunglasses protected his eyes. He also made sure to place his hands inside his pockets because he doesn't have any plans on touching any of the train's surfaces. His OOTD that day most likely got a lot of likes.
