The number of global coronavirus cases continues to rise. So, whether the following guidance is for those who may have been exposed to it or choosing to self-isolate to help slow its spread, people are locking themselves in their homes.
No nights out. No sports. No nothing. So how do we connect with other human beings and spend all of that extra free time we've been given? We make memes. That's right, people have flooded the Internet to sum up how this pandemic has changed our everyday lives, and it proves that we maintain our sense of humor no matter what. From changing your hygiene habits to fighting over toilet paper at the supermarket, scroll down to check everything out.

OK, you've heard that laughter is the best medicine. But what does that mean? And can it helps us fight the coronavirus as well?
Well, you tell me. Laughter reduces pain and allows us to get through discomfort easier, it improves our job performance, especially if our tasks demand creativity and solving complex problems. Heck, its role in intimate relationships is greatly underestimated and it really is one of the cornerstones of good marriages. Laughter also synchronizes the brains of speaker and listener so that they are emotionally attuned.
Now come the heavy guns. According to the Mayo Clinic, laughter also stimulates the body's organs by increasing oxygen intake to the heart, lungs and muscles, and triggers the release of endorphins. It also helps people handle stress by easing tension, relaxing the muscles and lowering blood pressure.
But considering the pandemic that our world is currently facing, the most important thing is that laughter increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving our resistance to disease. So, as weird as it sounds, memes really can help you to fight the coronavirus. You're welcome.
And that's why I think the officials that tried to shut up Dr. Li Wenliang when he first tried to raise the alarm on Covid19 should be charged with the deaths of everyone that occurred after they were notified and did nothing about it. They were the ones that allowed this condition to get out of control.
Oh... my gawd... THANK YOU FOR SAYING THIS... I've just been all "this.. is awesome... no one trying to chase me down and shame me for 'not going out as much as I should'" - yes... I know more than a few people who insist they "KNOW" it's best for me to go out at a frequency *ThEY* deem healthy.
Don't need it. Water is more efficient and hygienic.

Yeah my people *introverts* have been preparing for this moment their entire life
We're on a partial lockdown in my country. My company is on mandatory 'work from home' until further notice. I.LOVE.IT!!!! Working with my dogs for company instead of my colleagues? HEAVEN!
I'm with my best friend so this makes no difference. I adopted him 3 years ago & he's one of the best things that ever happened in my life. There is a bit of a language barrier in the fact that he understands some english but his interpretations are questionable. There are many times that he employs selective understanding to suit his needs. He can be very selfish that way but in the long run, I'm sure he's truly kind-hearted & returns my affection, most of the time, unless of course if he's angry when he proceeds to walk around pouting & giving me dirty looks. He's also very difficult to by clothes for, due to the fact that it's nearly impossible to find anything suitable for a kid with 4 legs.
I live in a coffee farm and see people once a week so now you know how happy 😊 I lve
I wish I could give this more than one upvote! I've been calling this situation "a great excuse for what I do already anyway," for weeks now!
I hope the trend of hugging everyone instead of a nod and/or handshake will just stop...was never a good idea.
im just playing on my xbox, sometimes getting supplies in my mask, (corona zombie killer) and just staying home. dont answer your doors, ill always pull out some gta 5 juggernaut armor.
I totally agree! Being inside all day, I am finishing two books that I started writing and almost finished years ago. No more excuses. One is a basketball biography, it is about 450 pages so I need to prune off about 100 pages, and the other is a horror novel, similar to "Carrie," but it's complete except for edits, too. I can now actually see my way forward to getting them printed and published! Hoo-hah!
I GOT TO BE HONEST I LOVE THIS BECAUSE I FUKIN LOVE THIS. HOMINAH HOMINAH HOMINAH.
I never considered myself an introvert, but I'm loving the time to follow my own rhythm rather than the crazy usual pace of life.

Iman extrovert. Not a good time for a family of six. Four kids. Two adults. I think my parents and siblings are going to murder me by week three
I can't make it to your event cause I don't wanna . Er, I mean . . . Quarantine .
I hope the trend of embracing everyone instead of a nod and/or handshake will go by the wayside...it was a bad idea!
Thank heaven for self service check-outs when we do need to go to the shop...!!
I was already a SQ before it was cool. I just called it "being a sensitive hermit"!!

No..it's called people of Korea aren't greedy. Idiots here are buying TP and then selling it out of their cars and online for outrageous prices. When we finally get the government to step in and make this act criminally prosecutable, things will calm down.
Just watched this movie over the weekend. I found it hilarious that it was in the top 10 movies streamed on Netflix in the US last week. :P
ROFLOL This is epic. Love it. Wonder if I can pull it off at work.
I'm disabled and my husband is self-employed and works from home. We've been 24/7/365 since 2005, yet this actually IS different. I haven't been anywhere for over a month, and I really miss going places, even the doctors' offices and the grocery store!
My Brother In law was 60 on Tuesday. So he has just doubled his chances of dying (1.6% (in the 50-59 range) to 3.2% (in the 60-69 range). I am so glad I am only 59.
Countries: go on quarantine Everyone: time to see all my friends, travel the world, and go shopping!
yes! im a cleaner and cleaned my whole house this weekend and told my boss I was working from home... she didnt buy it....

Tp and hand sanitizer sold out yet the liquor store is fully stocked. Don't you people realize you will be stuck with your family for an extended period of time
You know what rly sucks with the toilet paper panic buying people? Females having their period and being short on toilet paper without being able to get some more because there's no more to buy... Ive got my period yesterday and I'm on my last roll right now, I was not able to find any tp in any store.
Get creative? Maybe get in the shower each time or use some socks and rewash them afterward...........sorry that's gross but it's life

As of today 04/08 US is only about 100 deaths behind Spain. We'll surpass Italy in 3 or 4 days. Then we can say WE'RE #1. YES!!!!
I just had a call from a friend of mine threatening to kill himself because of lockdown. He was crying, "all the car dealerships are closed, as are real estate offices, I can't go on expensive foreign travel, jewellery stores and luxury spas are closed, I can't do nothing!" Yesterday he won the lottery after twenty five years of trying.

One joke is missed: " A little Clubfeeling came up, when you do shopping on Saturdays eve and the security guy is nodding to you at the Door.
Y'all know why they ran out of toilet paper? One customer coughed and the other 348 s**t themselves!
Definitely needed to read something funny in the middle of all this scariness!!
It was SO AMAZING after hard evening at work. My head was exploding from all the info and stress, and this was the best medicine at the moment :D
This is terrible! You’ve made me feel really bad for laughing so hard, these were actually really funny...Like tears in eyes funny, immediately share with your bestie funny...how dare you!

Alcohol kills germs, that s why I stocked up on Jack Daniels and Captain Morgan...I feel so much better now.
Rumour has it, eating 3 large Mc.D menus kills Corona in less than 10 minutes

No toilet paper in stores, but lots of bleach. Some people are going to be ruining their toilets!
