Every year, companies flood the internet with bogus posts and elaborate news for the April 1st. But the world is facing the coronavirus pandemic, which has drastically changed the ways we live. While most of us are now leading our lives online, experts warn about the importance of reliable and trustworthy information when it comes to Covid-19. But any potential April Fools' joke would be a step into the fakery zone.

Hence, Google has cancelled its pranks this year, reports Business Insider. “This year, we're going to take the year off from that tradition out of respect for all those fighting the COVID-19 pandemic," Lorraine Twohill, head of marketing at Google, wrote in an email to company managers. "Our highest goal right now is to be helpful to people, so let's save the jokes for next April, which will undoubtedly be a whole lot brighter than this one."

Number one thing we're gonna do if time travel is ever created is send the anti-vaxxers back into Victorian England when people were dumping their raw refuse into the Thames. Right up there with jettisoning the flat-earthers into space.

It turns out, the coronavirus crisis may have also changed the way we perceive jokes. One professor at the University of California, Coye Cheshire told CNET: “Right now it might be hard for companies and individuals to read the room virtually.” The potential to misread any joke is high as ever, and any potential prank may become a subject of severe criticism.

Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a communications professor at the University of Pennsylvania, warns that coronavirus jokes could be viewed as the truth. The critics of corona jokes say that even if toilet paper pranks are hilarious, they might set off panic buyers.

We have been trying to fight stupidity since humans began, still waiting for a anti stupid vaccine to be created. Too bad the anti vaxxers are the ones that need it the most. (Oh no she didn’t).

On the other hand, humor is known as an excellent coping mechanism.

Stanford researcher Andrea Samson and psychology Professor James Gross ran an experiment where subjects were asked to improvise jokes. They found that people who made any kind of quip benefited, reporting both increases in positive emotions and decreases in negative emotions.

"If you are able to teach people to be more playful, to look at the absurdities of life as humorous, you see some increase in wellbeing," said Samson in this Stanford News report.

It actually shows the reality in the life of an unfortunate black person who faces discrimination, unemployment and low pay just because of the color of their skin not all black people are poor and discriminated against because of their color but a lot are. And Yes I am black also.

There are plenty of successful poc. Not every white person has it easy; has money; or has had one thing handed to them, ever. For a lot of people, regardless of color, you can get yourself out of a bad situation with a whole lot of hard work, and a little bit of luck. I'm poor, I'm white, and I come from an everlasting line of poor white people. No one in my family history has ever NOT been poor, but you know what? No one is to blame for me being poor, but me. MY bad choices are too blame for my fkd up life. Plain and simple. Can't say things wouldn't have been different if i had a large chunk of money waiting for me once i turned 18, or family i could borrow money from to start a business, or something, but that's no excuse. There are plenty of successful people that started out the same way i did. With nothing. If they could do it, ANYONE could. It's 2020, enough with the excuses already. Your life is what YOU make it.

You know, cops who hate black people don't care if they're black and rich. White women who call the cops on black people minding their own business are calling them on middle class people, knowing they could be hurt. Banks loan black people less money for homes and businesses. If a black person's name isn't something a white person is "comfortable" with or doesn't think is "classy", even if they're college-educated, their resume still goes into "the circular file"—and, no, black people are not obligated to name their kids Chris or Rachel just for white people's comfort. C'mon, you know all this. Try thinking about it without your "just world theory" bias cap on. No one is saying life isn't hard for white people. it's just HARDER for blacks in America since *so many* white people in positions of power both hate black folks and want to be on top of the social class pecking order, and have convinced many lower class whites that black people are all trash, which you know is not true.

No... It's not about being black... It's more about being poor. Are they suggesting that the white people who live in the inner cities have it better? It's not about black or white anymore.. it's about just being poor.

I've got a laid back sense of humor. It's pretty funny lol, especially considering these are any race's problems. Just laugh at the joke and sing Bruno Mars 'I know I'm not the only 1' 😋

Sad but true. I tell all my white friends, go to a black church someday after this is all over and ask how they feel and most of all listen and do better. Ps I'm white also.

Why? Are people supid? Even if the Chinese government were to blame for the pandemic, it's not these people's fault! I think some people just need to hate somebody else, for wharever reason.

not pulling punches. As someone disabled and housebound, I admit I've been giggling a littlle watching everyone find out "How nice it must be to stay home all the time". (don't worry, I've been giving survival tips to those who ask me how we do this.)

Yeah this. So many people saying ‘I won’t get it’ or ‘I don’t have it’ or ‘I’m not social distancing and staying home’. No you may not have it but you may also be asymptomatic. You may be passing on your germs to someone with a compromised immune system without knowing it. Stay home, it’s not about you, it’s about the people who need protecting.
