The coronavirus pandemic is still working its way around the world but loads of countries are loosening lockdown regulations, so we’re stuck in a weird and confusing situation (we blame 2020). In times like these, a dose of good humor is great for recharging your batteries—laughter helps us see the positives in tough situations like the one we’re in now.
We want to keep your spirits up and to boost your mood this week, so Bored Panda has collected the freshest and funniest coronavirus jokes. Scroll down, upvote your faves, and let us know in the comments which jokes you loved the most and why. We’re huge fans of the corona jokes that people made during the quarantine, so be sure to check our previous posts here, here, and here. Now that’s a lot of jokes!
There are 3 camps of people when you ask whether it’s okay to make coronavirus jokes. There are those who think that comedy is incredibly important during difficult times. There are those who think that we shouldn’t joke about sensitive topics. Lastly, there are those in the middle who believe that humor has a place during the pandemic but that we shouldn’t overstep our bounds. But what do comedy professionals and experts have to say about this? Scroll down for Bored Panda's interview with comedy writer and comedian Ariane Sherine.

That Analogy Is Perfect
"I think it’s essential to joke about coronavirus because humor is a release mechanism to help us cope during dark times," Ariane told Bored Panda.
"Shared humor also helps us bond with one another. Lockdown would be very gloomy indeed if we couldn’t laugh about our predicament!" she added.
Ariane also told us that her go-to funny movie during the lockdown is 13 Going on 30 (released in 2004 and starring Jennifer Garner). "It’s really heartwarming and the Thriller scene is hilarious. It always lifts my spirits when I’m feeling low," the comedy writer said.

Why We Get So Mad About Antivaxxers And Corona Conspiracy-Theorists
Meanwhile, according to Dr. Peter McGraw who heads the University of Colorado Boulder’s Humor Research Lab, if we’re constantly plugged into the newsfeed and frantically search for the latest breaking news about the virus, this just increases the scariness of the pandemic.
“A bit of comedy—whether it be through your Instagram feed, through a Netflix comedy special, or calling up your friend who's pretty good at making jokes in the face of tragedy—is not only a good way to distract yourself from what's going on, but it's also a good way to delight yourself,” Dr. McGraw said. So we shouldn’t feel guilty for laughing. After all, the alternative is to be in a constant state of low-key panic. And that’s not helping anybody: not your family, not your friends, and least of all you.
McGraw stressed that social media “is a mess” during the lockdown, so it’s best to unplug and unwind. Preferably, with a bunch of funny movies, comedy stand-up shows, and books that make you chuckle. “Take a little bit of a break. You certainly deserve it."

Wait, so this guy is asking to see a medical professional, whilst totally disregarding the advice of medical professionals? I am so very confused.
Roland Trego 5 years ago
If wearing a mask infringes upon your civil liberties, then by extension you should be able to urinate and defecate in public. Just because these practices are a threat to public health doesn't mean the government has the right and obligation to regulate them. (Oh, it does?)
Teresa Taylor 5 years ago
The people protesting and calling others "sheeple" are selfish prigs that have no consideration for OTHERS' rights to safety and security. They only believe the Constitution and Bill of Rights is for "me" and not "you." If it inconveniences "me" or infringes on "my" constitutional rights, it is bad and the government cannot do it. However, the government has an obligation to the safety, security and wellbeing of all Americans. It has an obligation to defend against all threats, both foreign and domestic. COVID-19 has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and is a global threat with extensive loss of life. It is an internal threat to the safety of the nation and the government, both state and federal, have to sacrifice individual freedoms temporarily to ensure the viability of the nation as a whole. Most people get that. Most people accept it. The ones that don't make a******s of themselves for the world to see. The world judges us all by those few a******s.

I work in a doctor's office at the front end and this is not uncommon unfortunately. We cannot risk others just for one person. Thankfully no violence has occurred just tantrums.

I went to the dentist this week. They insisted I wear a mask (no problem), use hand sanitizer before I entered the lobby (no problem) and they took my temperature (no problem). Then they had me rinse my mouth with peroxide (no problem). None of these precautions are painful. I do not understand what's wrong with people who are fighting these precautions; they are in place for the sake of ending the pandemic.

He should go to hospital in China... 1. You have to wear mask 2. You have to show your health code (everyone in China has wechat or alipay which linked to your phone number, you scan the QR code and it gives you the idea of where you were for the last 14 days. Anyone who came from high risk province or country will be red and subject for observation) 3. You have to fill a questionnaire form (where you have been in the last 14 days, has any covid symptoms, your ID card, your phone number) 4. You have to have your temperature checked. Above 37.3 degree celcius goes to a special room, if much higher you will have to get a CT scan and if the scan shows covid like pneumonia, you will be sent directly to an appointed hospital. If you are not willing to cooperate, byeeeeee. No time for bullsh*t indeed

Sad to think people *(edit portion)would think others* are weak for having an opinion and a policy. Dont agree with it then leave or didnt get mad when they say GTFO. But I do have a question for the smarter people. This is not an opinion question. If ten people are in a room and 9 out of 10 are wearing a mask, is everyone protected? If not why? If so, then why would it not apply in large scale?
D Gangwere 5 years ago
If everybody else is wearing an N95 mask, and the one is infected, the mask wearers are protected (assuming hand washing, etc). If everybody else is wearing a standard cloth mask, and if the no-mask is not infected, and a mask wearer is, the no-mask is protected (mostly), because the mask wearer is not throwing out a bunch of saliva droplets all over the place. This *does* apply to the large scale. The main reason for wearing masks is to prevent the infected from infecting others.

Well, 1) No one is refusing anyone any treatment - all the person has to do is wear a mask. Not unreasonable in the slightest. Sometimes compromises have to be made. 2) not all doctors take oaths and 3) they aren't bound by the oath.

I think that Jonas Grinevičius knows even less about medicine than he does about writing... but he believes everything he sees on TV or reads in the paper, as long as it's coming from a fellow Liberal media junkie. Get informed: it's not conspiracy theory. The CDC has admitted that they overblew this whole thing, but the WHO has made a political issue out of it because they don't have the balls to admit that they were wrong... or their plan all along was to test their power over the rest of us, and like sheep we did exactly what they said to do and ruined most economies on earth. You people make me sick, sicker than Covid could EVER make me!
