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.

"Much very good information"? All those Nigerian Prince's emails had better English.
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."

Why Haven't The Priests And Pastors Of America Saved Us Yet? God Is Supposedly "Powerful "
Also why didn’t psychics step in before this pandemic actually became a pandemic or where to find missing people etc. Wait I know why, because it is all a load of hogwash.
There is a venue near me that holds psychic and (no idea how to spell the word that means sitting in a circle communicating with the dead) nights. It closed Down before Xmas and has been empty since then. Business went under. They didn’t see that coming!
Load More Replies...I feel a bit ashamed of this... I am a Christian but sometimes Christians try to do unimaginable things... yes we believe in miracles and all that but we believe in hospitals and medical stuff too. The Christians that think that they can pray a whole pandemic away are a little crazy and I'm sad that that's the only version of a Christian the world is seeing right now. At least at my church we pray for our doctors and essential worker's safety and things like that. You can believe what you want about religion of course, but I just wish that people could stop judging and let us do our own thing...ik I might get hate from this but please know that I'm on ur side too.
Usually, it is the extreme views that are the problem.
Load More Replies...Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.
God is real, he is very real. But he's not just gonna make a miracle happen with a snap of his finger. I mean i'm sure he could, but thats not how he is. He wants us to learn and grow from an experience like this. And not to mention the Coronavirus was made by the government and they hid the obvious right under our noses. God can't decide what human beings do, he only hopes that they do the right thing.
Former catholic school kid here, and not trying to defend anyone. Epidemiologists, Bill Gates, and others have been predicting a collapse in our systems due to a pandemic. They are people who actually made predictions from research, so....
Unfortunately them understanding this is exactly why these conspiracy morons now think Bill Gates invented the virus and created it in a lab. But rational people like us realize that's not how reality works, so they call us sheep and tell us to wake up and do research. No need, the research was already done.
Load More Replies...He seriously weirds me out! He seems possessed, his eyes are crazy too!
Load More Replies...Because not one of the preachers or priests is God. The healers put on an entertaining show, but the Word of God is not in them.
Load More Replies...God is real, and i believe he is very disappointed in all those fakes and liars. You atheists may ask, how do you know God is real, you can't see Him, so he must be fake? I will answer by saying, how do you know your brain is real? You can't see if can you? So how do you know for sure that your brain is real? You don't, but you believe your brain is real. Same thing with God, we can't see Him, but we believe He is real. The only way to feel His presence, is if you want to feel His presence in the first place. The only way to know God, is if you want to know Him in the first place. To know Him and be in His presence, you must want to. Have a lovely rest of your day/night and may God bless you.
It’s because it’s man made. God gave us free will and some one made cornavirus.
And Jesus is still REALLY bad with money- they keep asking for some non-stop on these shows... ;P
Ah, so you believe in what you see and not in faith. I do love a fresh approach
I wish they would try it. Perhaps it could feature on the God channel and then the news
Because there is no god. Learn to grow up and take resposibility for your lives and your actions. I've seen atheists with better morals than most religions. Also, being an atheist makes you get off your a**e and do something about a problem rather than sit around watching it get worse because 'My invisible friend will do it'
I love the irony of preachers who hold services in defiance of quarantine, saying God will protect them, then they come down with it themselves.
As a minister, in my church, I'd be defrocked for doing that. If God wants them healed, it'll be done with or without me. These guys are making the rest of us look bad. -Rev Dr M
Can you show me one amputee that god has healed? I mean show me one where god has regrown their missing limb.
Load More Replies...Its not your physical body that GOD/JESUS saves - it is your SOUL!!!
Get off your high horse foxxy and do a little research. Many psychics have helped find lots of missing children
I'm a blood bought, born again, bible believing baptist. I am ashamed and disgusted with the so called preachers who are liars. To the man who said to give him prof there is a God I think if you have the determination to know in your heart read the King James Version every word with respect and it will show you freedom of choice without fear. It's a challenge and the worst thing that will happen is you will read a very well written, interesting book.
The burden of proof lies on the shoulders of the person making the outrageous claim. You want us to believe in a magical man in the sky? The burden of proof is on YOU, believers, not on atheists.
Load More Replies...All loving as well. It seems to hate us after realizing it's mistake.
'HEEEEEEEEAAAALLL! ' looks at own hand. ' Damn, it should be working'
Maybe because they aren't magic genies. God determines who is healed. Pastors can't just go around healing everyone THEY think should get healed. Also, yes some televangelists are phonies who don't have the love of God in them, only the love of money. But others, genuine disciples of Jesus, don't want to disobey the CDC recommendations to social distance any more than you do. In fact the Bible says that we should obey government leaders. As long as we put our obedience to God first.
Genuine? Read about the “no true Scotsman” fallacy. There’s no god. No devil. No magic.

Hmm. What could possibly be the reason? They must be having a bad internet connection. And yet the connections for contributions still work. It's a miracle!
If you're uncontious on a ventilator, you can't make donations. Money is their God!
Seems weird doesn't it... Maybe the power of God is not strong in hospitals... Who knows!!
There is no such thing as the power of god. There’s no such thing as a god.
Load More Replies...Those "cures" only work when they are passing the collection basket.
God has closed the planet for repairs. Please try to take better care of it in the future.
Because these people may not be true, there is no reason or write the intro that way. If every illness was cured it would be Heaven.
Don't hold your breath. God's last housecall was thousands of years ago when he gave some tablets to Abraham.
This is because the Government is more powerful than religion . Laws would prevent them from doing this ; Just like they did with high doses of vitamin C.
Conspiracy theorists are just religious people of a different brand.
Load More Replies...Stupid people. Your minds only work one way and are too ignorant to realize it doesn't ork like that. God isn't like the Marvel comics and every time there's a problem he comes to bail us out of it. Just like at one time man didn't know how to create fire is the same way you don't know the big picture of what God is all about. Don't you think anyone who can create the universe and life you won't understand?
The reason you don’t hear about the healings that DO happen is because the press won’t publish it. You don’t need a televangelist to heal you. But God can and does heal if you ask Him.
B******t. There’s no f*****g press conspiracy to suppress news of “real miracles”. You’re a conspiracy theorist and a believer of b******t. I’m sorry you were unable to use critical thinking to avoid being indoctrinated into the cult of religion, but you’re spreading nonsense and it has to stop.
