People Cannot Stop Posting Corona Jokes And Here Are 35 Of The Best Ones This Week (New Pics)
Everyone is involved in a viral experiment these days. The goal is to find out whether laughter is the best medicine for the coronapocalypse, or whether a meme a day can keep the quarantine blues away. And people do what it says.
But there are no rules when it comes to modern internet humor, except that it has to make you cringe, lol, or die laughing. In fact, the crying laughing emoji has reportedly been the most used one on social media in the past few months. A coincidence? Doubt it.
From absurdist millennial puns-intended to apocalyptic parody memes, Bored Panda has collected the best weekly corona jokes. And for those who just jumped onto the bandwagon, check out our previous compilations: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, and part 7.

As we’re well into the crisis now, the jokes and memes are getting more twisted. Dark coronavirus humor is often funnier and somehow resonates better with people.
Interestingly, a taste for black humor could be an indicator of greater intelligence levels, according to this study published in Cognitive Processing. The psychologist Ulrike Willinger led an experiment which showed that participants who appreciated darker jokes expressed less aggression than those with a conventional sense of humor. Plus, the former group was found to have higher levels in verbal and nonverbal intelligence.
So true. Even though where I live we have had zero cases for the past 2 days, I will still be waiting at LEAST 2-4 weeks before I send my kids back to school.
Meanwhile, comedian Ken Cheng believes that joking about any risqué topic within comedy elicits the same answer. “Which is, that it depends,” Ken wrote in an opinion piece for Metro. But he doesn’t see anything wrong with talking about the current crisis in a humorous way. “Of course there will be some camps who think no serious topic should be made fun of, that even mentioning coronavirus in a humorous context is making light of a tragic situation,” but he added, “I don’t subscribe to this.” If humor is used skillfully, it can bring shelter to whatever the situation would be while still understanding its severity.
I just choked on this one, and I wasn't even drinking or eating. Hilarious
Fabric ones that can go in the washing machine are my favourite!

One of my grandmothers did this and more. Alcohol in a little bottle to wipe hands, wash doorknobs, etc. Clothes off right after school. Clean ones on. She was a nurse during the 1918 flu pandemic. I always thought she was crazy. I understand now. But, I doubt I'll follow her lead.
"Mama? Why does grandma call people a Covidiot all the time? And why do the other old people get mad and offended by it?" "Well Ophelia, back in grandma's day, Covidiots were people who helped kill other people who couldn't defend themselves, and then blamed everyone else." "Oh mama that's horrible!"
“Mama, why doesn’t Grandma ever hug me?” “She lived through 2020, Darling. She just…can’t.
The scary part is the last pandemic, the Spanish flu in 1914(?) lasted TWO years. Thanks to all the Covidiots who helping us keep this one at least that long

Viruses can survive on surfaces, some are more hospitable than others. They tend to live longer (several days) on things like glass, plastic and metal (counter tops, hand rails, buttons, phones) and don't do so well on fabrics and paper, surviving only hours. So putting a cardboard delivery box in isolation for a day means it should be ok, but you might still need to clean the contents. You can wash tins and jars, etc soap and water is fine, you don't have to use sanitiser wipes. Or you can isolate them too, just for longer. Wash hands after touching anything you've brought in from outside. Either clean or bin plastic bags, or use fabric ones and pop them in the wash.
Sorry, that was supposed to be a reply to the "why wipe bags?" question.

I agree .Many of the things that we are conciously doing may become life-long habits!
I have ALWAYS washed my groceries off! Actually, I have always washed or washed off, everything I buy. Have you ever seen people stocking shelves? Do you have any idea what comes out at night in the grocery stores when the lights go out? I was a cook in the Navy, believe me, you will want to ALWAYS wash off everything you ever buy again!
Things we should have been doing like washing our hands & using hand sanitizer properly, sneezing into our elbows, using tissues once & immediately throwing away when we have respiratory infections, not crowding, getting annual Influenza vaccinations... We knew these things. We got lax. We have had breakouts of Influenza, SARS, now COVID 19. Have we learned anything? No. We will return to running our hands under the trickle of water, a quick pump of soap, a quick swish, rinse & go. Hand Sanitizer will again be wiped off with tissue or on pants instead of rubbed in for 20 seconds. When a sneeze comes, a quick turn of the head will do. When in a hurry at the grocery store, the cart will be unloaded while the customer in front of you still have items on the belt. No, this sense of urgency won't last. It didn't before. And it will not again.
I was raised by that grandma. I've been using a lot of what I learned from her
Ugh. Just made this observation to my partner. "When I was your age we washed our groceries."
Yeah, like my grandmother stealing 2 envelopps of sugar each time she would have a coffee in a restaurant...
Yep and a generation of little kids will effectively wash their hands, might get rid of impetigo, worms and ringworm in the Future as well.
Once the madness calms - I will always have a HUGE bottle of 91% alcohol in the house and if not I'll have a total meltdown. Like everyday of my life right now.
Should wipe all groceries and indeed the bag you put them in. Don't know who's been coughing and sneezing over shop shelves and picking up items before putting them back again.

Thanks to the drop in air pollution Mordor is once again visible from the shire
What's wrong with people and their urgent need to go to the hairdresser? It's just effin' hair!!!! Who are you gonna show your new hairstyle? Or you wanna look good in like coffin???
I gave my grandmother a look as she was drinking. She told me she heard that it’s good for her. I replied, “it’s wine and only a glass every now and then.” To which she replied, “i’m old and I’ll drink whatever I want.” She was hitting the whiskey and scotch. The woman is approaching 90 and was pregnant 13 times, I’m not going to argue with her. Drink away.

Thank you for the great post! It's good to see that people are still able to keep an open mind and laugh in difficult times, and such articles help to lift the spirits :) Some of these were really funny, lmao at #10, 17, 20... and some of them were painfully accurate.... especially #7
Just wait, it'll come back. Having lived with mild but recurrent chronic depression my whole life, I am happy to report that there comes a moment where your mind just freakin' breaks and everything that made you sad before becomes so awful that it's hilarious. Stay strong. Nothing lasts forever.

i don't think the anger was directed towards rich people. it is definitely towards selfish individuals and/or people who deliberately choose to listen to bad advice. they are also the ones who are probably threatening public health advisors.

I'm monitoring the numbers every day, thanks for the concern. I had activated the daily notifications about coronavirus on Line messenger, it really helps seeing the progress of the situation. The report of today (22nd April) for S. Korea (which is where I've been living all these years) is the following. Total cases: 10,694 (↑11) / Total tests: 577,959 (↑6,945) / Cured cases: 8,277 (↑64) / Total deaths: 238 (↑1) As we can see, the situation is getting better, thanks to the precautions taken, however, people are still dying daily, and there's still cca. a couple of thousand people trying to get healthy. Now, these are reported numbers. We know that, regardless of transparency and testing, there will always be unreported cases who didn't seek up to get tested. Korea is praised world wide for doing a good job in managing this crisis, but if it's serious here, you can only imagine how it is in countries where health care is not as available for whatever reasons. *NOTE* by the end of February and within the first half of March, the numbers were counting over 600 infected cases daily, then dropping to 400s and for a long time it was over 300s. Then for some time the numbers turned to cca. 100 daily, dropping to about 30s recently, and it's been less than a week that numbers are showing cca. 10 new cases per day.
