The coronavirus is no joke anymore. Allegedly, Google has canceled its annual April Fools’ Day joke, claiming that it’s not the time to be messing around. As the sources for killer humor are running dry, people are nowhere near ready to stop. And the latest comic gems are in!
Bored Panda has collected the hottest series of viral memes, puns, quips, observations, and wisdom bites into this one batch of an immune booster. Yep, it’s true! Laughter is said to increase immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, meaning you may become more resistant to the virus after reading this. How do you like the punapocalypse now, Corona?!

Hahaha this is something my hubby would do, so this is one post I definitely wont share with him. Don’t need to give him any ideas.
When Pennywise rips your arm off you still won’t be able to wipe so keep walking!
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.
That is just adorable, especially the way the cat is using it’s paw.
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.
All those doggos are going to be exhausted by the time this is over.
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.
That's really sad. And true... hugs to everyone who has suffered any kind of loss
Trump:"Fvck the people, the economy is taking a hit, you must all go back to work now. It will blow over. Some day, magically it will have gone away. I'm very sure of it. When the weather gets warmer the virus dies. By Easter everything will be back to normal. I know because there's no one who knows more about Corona than I do. Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ . Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.
Unfortunately, a screwed economy will most likely cause far more deaths than this virus ever could! Remember this when unemployment is 50% and no government has any money to pay for welfare or healthcare...
True...Yes, indeed! I personally think Trump said that, to force both parties to agree on a stimulus package. Why? Because BOTH parties were greedily bickering over the 1st stimulus package, and stalling progress! NOW, the 2nd stimulus bill did pass!! Why did it pass the 2nd time around? Because, Trump had to play hard ball with both POLITICAL nitwit parties, to fight for our rights as US citizens. He had to play the ‘guilt‘ card. Think about it... the stimulus package gets voted down the 1st time! Meanwhile everyday people are struggling to make ends meet. Trump says “F*ck it! OUR US citizens need financial help... so if YOU are NOT going to pass the stimulus bill & help US citizens, then I have NO choice but to send them back to work to gain SOME income!! So due to all your political b******t, BOTH PARTIES are going to have BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS!!” Oh yeah! It DID trigger the government to pass the stimulus bill a LITTLE quicker, did it not?? We couldn't have waited any longer!

No it’s called political hard ball to get these politicians to move their asses on a stimulus plan FROM WHICH WE CAN BENEFIT!!! Don’t you get it??? Trump was not denying us the package to aid us financially!! Ugh! Wake up! Seriously! This could have gone on for so long.... honestly... think about it... suicide rates would skyrocket, starvation, you name it! He has to put the ownership on the Senate who refused to pass it... and both parties are at fault by injecting their personal agendas into this stimulus package!! That is the truth.
Load More Replies...Somebody send this to the Toddler-in-the-White House! Would try, but he’s banned me from his Twitter account.
It is strange when the Ghanaian government is smarter than the "developed" countries...
That’s why we must keep suicide rates down. Right now we need financial help as well. You don’t understand people. It was a ploy to get the a******s in the Senate to agree to help us financially. They were taking their good old time, meanwhile people are not only dying BUT FINANCIALLY STRAPPED. Stress is out more and make our immune systems weaker... it was the SENATE!!! TRUMP HAD TO BEAT MEMBERS OF THE SENATE AT THEIR OWN ‘POWER LOVING’ GAME! IT WAS A PLOY TO GET THE SENATE TO PASS THIS BILL, QUICKLY!!!!! Unfortunately people need money to survive!!! You know...a roof over their heads, food!!! Ugh! I know... I am one of those that struggles!

I wonder how long it will take to run out of Covid-19 jokes.
People will NEVER run out of coronavirus memes. Not even when the crisis is over.

You have every right to be bored, as long as you've completed both Netflix, and YouTube.
True story: This morning an 18 wheeler flipped and caught fire on a highway in Dallas, Texas. The truck was filled with Toilet Paper, and the road was covered in scattered rolls of toilet pap. The poor girl giving the traffic report had a hard time trying to keep a straight face describing the accident and horribly tied up traffic.
Remain at 6 foot distance. 10 feet for the likes of Charlie Sheen. Anyone else's car getting 3 weeks to a gallon?
Who elses mom shuves you outta the room to watch Handmades Tale on Hulu? Just me ok.
End of Corona Virus Pandemic for America is 1 May...start of storm season on the east coast. Personality wise I favor the weather guys BS to the Fauci and company BS... Was this all a ploy to make the nerdly type folks (meteorologists and epidemiologists) into modern day rock-stars?
Am I the only one who noticed the red balloon,by the sewer? ( From the movie it)
