There are now over 13.1 million confirmed cases of people infected with the coronavirus worldwide and the situation looks dire. However, people haven’t given up yet and are doing what humans do in hard times: they poke fun at the crisis to laugh and boost their spirits.
The Bored Panda team has collected some of the funniest and freshest jokes about the ‘Coronapocalypse’ floating on the net to show you that there’s plenty of humor around even in the darkest times. So scroll down and upvote your fave jokes, dear Pandas. When you’re done chuckling your way through this list, we’ve got plenty more coronavirus jokes for you to enjoy: check out our freshest lists here, here, and here.
Bored Panda reached out to Know Your Meme’s Senior Editor Matt Schimkowitz and spoke to him about the best coronavirus memes of 2020 and to what extent it’s all right to joke about serious topics. Read on for Matt’s insights!

Seriously, Is This Even A Tough Decision?
But Hey, I'm Sure That Was Just A Fluke
Clear Message
The first thing that we wanted to know was which meme about 2020 stood out for Know Your Meme’s Senior Editor Matt personally as the most accurate and funniest so far.
“This is a tough question. The first one to come to mind is ‘Tested Positive for Missing the Homies,’ which is something that I think had very wide appeal during the coronavirus quarantine. I have to admit, I am also suffering from this affliction. What can I say? I miss my homies. I think about that meme a lot,” Matt told Bored Panda.
However, the topic of humor during a deadly pandemic can be touchy. On the one hand, humor and laughter always go hand in hand and help people keep their hope burning strong during times of crisis. On the other hand, the Covid-19 pandemic has affected a lot of people who might not think that the coronavirus is something to take lightly.
She Used Your Own Logic, But Against You
“I think I need to take this on a case-by-case basis,” Matt explained. “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 added that nearly anything can be funny but the context surrounding a joke makes all the difference. We were also interested to know if Matt thought there was any way that the different sides of the aisle could find common ground.
Kind Of A Political Post
People Running Around
I've Got You
“There's not any reconciling this point. People will always offend and others will always be offended. I think that most people should just be conscious about what they're meme-ing and what the subtext of the meme is. If people do take offense, try and understand why. It's possible to make jokes about sensitive topics, but you have to listen to your audience in order to get there.”
Let's Talk About Where The Priorities *actually* Are
We Can Smell The Hypocrisy And It’s Bad
Men Who Wear Masks
Finally, we wanted to get Matt’s take about the second half of 2020 and whether he thought the global situation would improve. Unfortunately, he wasn’t too optimistic. “Sorry to say, it's not looking good. We're currently in the middle of a global pandemic that's killed more than 400,000 people, so I think for many people it's probably going to continue being pretty painful.”
He added: “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!”

Split personality...that's 'Jack' Trump who's running for election this year..
He's running ads that show riots and looting with a tagline that says "This is what America will look like under Joe Biden." The images were all taken under Trump.
It worked over here. The Conservatives won with the pledge to undo eleven years of bad government. They didn’t actually mention that they’d been in power for the last eleven years...
in general most Americans are stupid ... far too many can't even find their own country on a map
Uh, have you seen the republican 2020 platform. The whole thing is an attack on the current white house occupant.
if we donald trump stay president, he'll make everyone die of covid and he'll say he stopped covid by empting the nation
in south africa, that is literally how the ANC (Political party in power) has stayed in power since 1994... and the dumbasses here buy it
I read he has an acceptance of 41% in surveys. which means almot half of the US are people who feel well represented by a narcisist, racist, sexist and ignorant bully. Trump is not the problem, he's the symptom.
Well of course he can't put a stop to it Now- Biden might win and he would have done something good for nothing!
Well if the people believe him..............what is there left to say Stupidity breeds stupidity , Moralising breeds contempt. Which is it to be.
The sad part is 'fans' are cheering him on and saying something like 'You Tell 'Em - USA-USA-USA!'
I am very familiar to that idea. Turkish president doing it over and over again since he is first elected and it seems this time even his supporters won't vote for him. So it won't last long, just saying...
it will be interesting that all the COVID paranoia will end if Biden is elected.
This administration insisting schools reopen in the fall ranks right up there with separating parents and children and putting the children in cages. Absolutely no respect for the human lives of children.
It might help if you looked at the science of children and covid.

eisenhower said that if elected ,he would end the Korean war----which he was in charge of as a 5 star general---he was elected....just saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As if one general has to power to end a war in a battle that he's losing, while his superior ( the US president) tells him to keep fighting and waste more lives.

I am pretty sure I have only heard those kind of blow hard statements out of the ever laughable Biden.
This sounds suspiciously like the Christian religion. God says, "Love and obey me so I won't do horrible things to you for not living and obeying me!" Wait! That explains why the Evangelicals are so solidly supporting 45 -- he's an avatar of their God!
That’s so not it but okay. I’m Christian and I don’t support Trump at all

Isn't it a bit racist, though? Stupidity is colour blind. I recall months ago reading comments on other sites from black Americans saying stuff like "God, save my people from themselves", stating how they'd refuse to wear masks although dying massively. Also, there are *shock* some Asians showing in an old series of anti-lockdown protest photos in the USA. Go ahead and downvote, but I hate being put within the same basket as the stupid ones just because of my skin colour. And no, I couldn't care less about one's skin tone, so don't go feeding me the "now you know how it feels" poop. You know nothing about me and how, and where I live, or how and were I grew up.

I find it funny that Americans will proudly fight and die for their country but tell them to wear a mask to protect their country and suddenly you are violating their rights.
While many are stupid, a lot of us are wearing mask. Finally, more stores a requiring people to wear mask. Yes, many are stupid, but many of us are not. Please don't generalize an entire country.

I knew this would happen. The dread started the second that first case showed up in Washington state. I thought: as a whole, people in this country are idiots. They aren't going to behave themselves. They aren't going to listen to the experts and follow the rules. There is NO way we're going to be able to contain this.' So I grabbed a mask, some antacids for the worry ulcer and plenty of popcorn and sat back to watch the horror show. We live in a me! me! me! immediate gratification culture over here. Also the sheer size of our country coupled with the 50 different governors with 50 different plans business makes dealing with this crisis a straight up logistical nightmare. That's with having someone competent at the head of government. We have the opposite of competent right now, so the whole thing has just become one big dumpster fire. It's a great time to be an introvert hiding out on 40 acres with internet, Netflix and goats.

So we are 20 9/11's deep but this is no big deal yet I still have to take my shoes off and get photographed naked to ride a plane?
It's even worse, since the testing is lagged by at least two weeks now (and counting), US was already flying blind, but with the CDC decommissioned, it'll not get any better. While the majority of the world is keeping Covid at bay, I see no way out of this for the US

it's not a hoax our president is a very feeble minded clown that has one thing on his mind. RE-election he doesn't want to be that president that only served 1 term has the blood of these Americans on his hands he wasn't honest nor did he protect us from ourselves. He ignored sensitive info that could have helped I hope for no more deaths and hope we get a true fighter in charge to get our USA back to normal how can people vote and love a "man" that has made everything about himself and fights against US doctors telling us how to eliminate/slow this threat talks s**t to persons who ask questions we really need answers. He is a terrorist causing unnecessary deaths.

I still don't understand the uproar of getting mad at people who aren't wearing masks. Aren't you supposed to be safe if you're wearing one? If so, then why are you worried about someone who is not? Aren't they only harming themselves? Talk about hypocrisy.
It's not a political issue. Masks works. its about health, not politics. But i guess its not clear for some, because people are thinking only about themselves. masks main PURPOSE IS TO PROTECT OTHERS.
