The coronavirus continues to spread and has infected more than 26 million people all over the world. It’s no laughing matter and sometimes it’s tough to see the silver lining in life. But finding some humor in this thoroughly miserable state of affairs and poking fun at 2020 helps keep our spirits up.

That’s why Bored Panda brings you the newest edition of coronavirus jokes that people are sharing online. Upvote your favorite corona jokes, let us know which ones you liked the most and why, and make sure to check out our latest lists here, here, as well as here.

And remember, dear Pandas—even Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson reminds us all to wear our masks. We gotta do what The Rock says, there’s no two ways about it. I mean, imagine saying ‘no’ to The Rock! Meanwhile, comedian and comedy writer Ariane Sherine told Bored Panda that she believes humor today is far more pessimistic and darker than at the start of the year because the pandemic's much more serious than most of us first thought. "But on the upside, there’s also a shared sense of camaraderie and getting through tough times together." Scroll down for the rest of the interview.

Just like many of us, Ariane limits the amount of time she spends absorbing corona-related news nowadays. "I get my news in bite-sized chunks from Twitter. I read the news articles they recommend but I never watch the television news as I find that a lot more emotive and distressing than written news," she said. It's good for our emotional health to limit how much time we spend thinking about the coronavirus each day.

According to Ariane, there are some things waiting for us in the near future that could be cause for renewed hope and optimism. "The news that a vaccine is just around the corner is cause for optimism, but whether most people will be willing to take it or not is another matter. Hopefully, the pandemic will be over entirely by this time next year," she said.

Previously, Bored Panda spoke about staying optimistic and hopeful in these trying times with psychologist, priest, and published author Dr. Fraser Watts. According to him, optimism is a matter or prediction while hope is a matter of attitude.

"In the present situation, I don't think there are any good grounds for optimism, and to be optimistic would be a retreat into a fantasy world. However, even in present circumstances, it is possible and really helpful to maintain a positive, hopeful attitude,” he said.

Dr. Watts explained that staying hopeful about the future requires practice and cultivating a positive mindset. “It is useful to be clear that hope does not depend on believing that everything is going to be fine. It is more an act of will."

Meanwhile, the question of whether or not anyone should be making jokes about the coronavirus is on some people’s minds. Earlier, Know Your Meme’s Senior Editor Matt Schimkowitz told Bored Panda we need to evaluate each joke on a case-by-case basis.

“There are plenty of great coronavirus memes and plenty of bad ones. I think when it comes to a situation like that, one that affects everyone on a global scale, it's kind of fair game. Of course, there's a line, I think, when you start mocking other people's experiences with the virus,” he explained.

Yes and then they’ll blame you if you get bitten by them. Jerks.

The meme expert added that some people will always be offended by some jokes and it’s impossible to fully reconcile them with the people who make jokes. “It's possible to make jokes about sensitive topics, but you have to listen to your audience in order to get there.”

Schimkowitz isn’t too fired up about the rest of the year. “Sorry to say, it's not looking good. We're currently in the middle of a global pandemic, so I think for many people it's probably going to continue being pretty painful. Oh, and there's a US election coming up, which are usually calm, orderly events with no problems, partisanship, or societal ruptures. Sorry to be a bummer!”

Some things are so awful you have to choose whether to laugh or cry. Either way, do it behind your mask.

This year was the first year that I haven't heard a single person complain about having the flu, a cold or even a sniffle. Either the social distancing/mask works, or people are to scared to be put into isolation for suspected COVID.

Other countries like Japan. When their citizens are sick they choose to wear a mask so others don't get sick. I think that's kind and considerate. Especially during a pandemic everyone should be kind and considerate. Life is different for a short time. Gretel S is a sociopath. Pay that thing no mind

What the hell? Did you just call a random person on the internet a sociopath? Just because you don't agree with someone's views doesn't mean they are a sociopath. Your views aren't the norm, there is no such thing. I'm surprised you didn't call her a nazi.

right before the virus first hit my country, people knew about it ravaging china but were very judgy of those wearing masks in my country and called them paranoid and so on. i was wearing one because i was ill with the flu but needed to go to uni, and I wanted to protect people around me. the looks I kept receiving were nasty... soon after that i had to wear one because i had a septum intervention and my nose was very sensitive to cold, but I felt too uncomfortable to wear a mask outside because I felt like people could attack me verbally for doing so. covidiots are a rare breed of humans...

I have lost the article with the numbers, but in Australia our deaths from flu are waaaay down. Because covid protection behaviour works on flu. ( The southern states are just barely into spring, - the northern states are just hot all the time )

exactly. One of the only good things about taking precautions vs Covid is that they work on flu as well

I'm sure we could find a myriad of reasons (excuses) to wear masks. Just like we could decide to wear bicycle helmets in many other situations.

Yet we don't. If i went around wearing a mask a year ago, people would look me weird, i would attract more attention than I'd like (I like zero) so I didn't, even though the reasons existed already. As for helmets, that's not a good example. Deodorant is a better (tho non health related) example and I'm glad most of us do use them.

It's been noted that the flu season #'s were not as high this year as in previous years, so something worked to change that!

Hey, in Japan, they wear masks regularly, no one dead from the masks yet. Hmmmm. Protecting each other is customary there. Why not here also?

That's a good point. For several years in North America I have seen Asians wearing masks without a pandemic or flue season. Thought it was strange at first but now I see the logic.

But both are illnesses that are spread through the air, attack the breathways (among other things) and can kill people. So, as long as one thinks that avoiding needless death is something valuable, wearing a mask during flu season would be the proper reaction. Even if Corona vanished from the Earth tomorrow.

I've been wanting for our society to have masks as standard for years. Obviously I hate covid, but finally we are wearing masks!

Your luggage is too heavy for the plane. For an additional charge, it will be light enough to travel.

My 2020 calendar was "A F*cking Calendar". September's month is "Holy Sh!t Balls" and it has random quips such as "F*cking Pumpkin Everything" on random days. Along with the middle finger stickers, and some that say "Suck it Up" I feel it was spot on for what this year brought us!

I swear if this virus was visible to the naked eye people would stay the f**k home. I mean, some people had trouble accepting germ theory in the first place. "What do you mean there are tiny creatures making me sick? Everyone knows illness comes from bad smells."

That’s how I felt when I heard “must be free”, when a product wouldn’t scan or had no price tag.
