From what we’ve seen happening in the world so far, no pandemic can ever stop the pundemic! In these trying times, jokes are among a small handful of things we still have control over. The others are which PJ’s you wear for work o'clock and wine o'clock.
And for this reason, the newest coronavirus jokes of the week are in! Compiled by Bored Panda and executed by some of the wittiest minds on the internet, the gems are at your service. Consume recklessly, because a little comedy never killed nobody.
And if you need another dose of feel-good laughter, you know where to look: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, and part 6. You’re welcome.

Bored Panda contacted Ariane Ling, a clinical instructor in the the Department of Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health, who told us about the toll the current crisis has on our emotional state. It turns out that harnessing a sense of humor during this time is one of the most effective strategies to cope with unpleasant feelings.
Ling explained that there are both short-term and long-term benefits of cracking a joke now and then amid the crisis. “It helps to manage and tolerate stress in the moment while also maintaining perspective and resilience moving forward.” Humor is one creative way of coping rather than avoiding and going into denial about things.
Understandably, many of us feel anxious and keeping that sense of humor up is one of the very few resources we have right now. “Patients have shared how things that would normally help with stress are no longer available, including meeting up with friends for brunch, playing sports with their local league, going to the gym, etc,” said Ling. As a result, some “of my patients have described [the situation] as surreal or floating without an anchor.”
According to Ling, psychological wellbeing can also go in a positive direction where it is possible to keep spirits high when faced with large-scale tragedy. She explained: “Despite physical distancing, it's evident that people have been taking advantage of technology to stay social and connected. I’ve learned from my patients that holding on to gratitude is also critical in bolstering resilience.” It all comes down to being thankful for small things and enjoying the moment.
The clinical instructor also told us that in their NYU Langone Health clinic, “we started a 'good vibes' email chain where we share uplifting stories and clever memes.” So next time you’re thinking of sharing that meme with your friends and relatives, just press send—it may be all they need now.
HAHAHA! I bet lots of cats feel the same way. My dog's are also starting to look a bit tired. Instead of sleeping all day as usual, they now have to follow my husband in case he's eating something or doing something interesting.
OMG I said exactly this to my wife last week while we were in the store!
Oh god, I have been so caught up with all this alone time that I haven't even though that there are introverts that live with other people.
I have been TRYING to sleep in now that I don’t have to get my son ready for school.
I hope we learn to appreciate nature more, even though I doubt we will.
I live in nature. I take three steps off of my porch and I'm in the woods. I can't see any of my neighbors. Normally, I love the solitude; but, lately, I'm starting to feel super isolated.

I bet the people who were involved with the bat/pangolin capture/eating will barely pause. Laws need to change here.

Been thinking the same thing. If anything, it'll be worse after, because the filthy rich will try to make up their losses by f*****g everyone over a third time.
It's bad enough now. We're in lockdown in NZ. Some employers are taking wage subsidies from the government (to help pay their workers while their businesses can't earn) and not paying it all on to their employees. Nearly 300 cases all ready being investigated. We also had two local supermarkets apply for AND be paid hundreds of thousands in wage subsidies when their businesses are still going flat out as they the only shops still open. They are paying that back after their parent company told them off.

It's so painfully true.... but do not take comfort in it.
And know that Boeing shareholders are doing okay. That's what's MOST important here.
Boeing only Builds the planes. They have absolutely nothing to do with the airlines or airline companies. Apples and oranges.

I don't know, I think this may change a lot of things! But then again, that may just be wishful thinking
It is sad - especially when you see the blue skies, clear water and animals venturing out into quiet streets
Absolutely, especially when humans won't change the way they eat, the way they live.

Disagree, I think a lot of things will change....and, all for the good.
How much power do any of us have over big corporates, their factories and their pollution? Unless it becomes commonplace for businesses to be kinder to the environment, it will always be cheaper to do it the unkinder way and most consumers don't have the luxury of paying extra for products made in a way that is kinder to the environment.

oh I hope not - and think not - we have seen the Himalaya's from the north of India - and stars for the first time, people have been kind beyond belief and the desire for connection with each other will never be forgotten , yes we will treasure nature more and be grateful for small things. My knowing of what is of real value - will never be the same
But can India's economy (and many other countries) and it's people, many all ready in poverty before this, afford not to go back to how they were? Priority will be to get back on their feet as quickly as possible and that won't include time to invent and implement new practices. Sadly.

Hate to sat this but , this is the most honest thing I have heard since this all began,
what we'll have learned is how fast the government can turn America into a police state with absolutely no public outcry. Sad!
Not just about the US. Can't sit there in your bubble pretending the rest of the world isn't affected by what you do.

Just like we did after the 2009-10 H1N1 pandemic ... that also came from China. A world of stupid!
Anyone else actually want to try that. Put some water underneath and it’d be fun.
I choked on a sweet the other day whilst sitting in the back garden. We live next door to a garage and shop and I swear the people queuing to get groceries were freaking out about the ill person in the house next door 😬 And I just wanted to shout I’M NOT INFECTED JUST AN IDIOT DON’T WORRY.
At least 3 times in 2 weeks we have had massive groups of people hanging out at the beach. Like seriously, these people are completely f****d in the head. What part of STAY THE F**K AT HOME do they not understand.
Thought the mask was his mouth for a moment, and man that was a creepy smile
I don't know if it's the being stuck at home or not, but that made me laugh too much
I just taught a whole lesson on "Flowers for Algernon" to my students in my PJs
I'd quarantine any decorations with words on it. Don't advertise to me what I should be feeling in your house.
Then you have too much money. (Edit: I read "mini laptop for my dog".)
Honestly, given that Willem DeFoe voiced Ryuk for that movie he was the best part!
In my country you can't return them...they changed the policy so you can't rescind buyers remorse....coz panic buying was dumb to begin with....
About time! The child ran crime unit knew where he was hidding for years, but the commissioner decided to dismiss those findings.
At once or one after another? Mind you you could watch them all at once, starts with not a lot happening, wander around a bit, have a bit of fight, wander around a bit more, have a bigger fight, find a love interest, wander around a bit more and then have one big final fight, pretty much covers all of them doesn't it?
This is an HEB grocery store mascot. You are not essential, but maybe the costume is helping keeping you safe (but probably not! ) I hope this picture is old.
Yassss. So true. Especially for Minnesotans today it's going to be 68 degrees!! Spot on!
Say yes, and makeup some story about how hard it was because there was no spotify or ipad.
guilty of letting them rip without first checking if someone was behind me, chuckle..
Ugh, our grocery bill has increased dramatically and not just because of snacking but also because the f**k heads stripping the shelves bare and leaving a handful of the more expensive items. I usually pay less than $2 for flour and I had to pay over $4, I also pay less than $3 for body wash but had to pay $8.50 coz that’s all they bloody had. Add the fact that many of our fruit and veg are dearer because of our recent bushfires doesn’t help.
I'm sure certain people agree to this. my school is online learning, and not only did they give us 5 times the regular amount homework, but they gave us 10 times the amount. LUCKILY, I finish it in time.
Memes like this don't work very well, because taste in music is way too subjective.
Yes, there are only two places here currently selling coffee...I make sure to alternate days so they don't think I'm bad at quarantining.
or using ur phone too much and spending 2h and 57 minutes on tik tok
All the crazies who were already all prepped for the zombie apocalypse are pointing and laughing at the rest of us right now. 'Bet you wish had a bunker now! Still think buying 10 cases of peanut butter was stupid? Got enough toilet paper? No? Well, isn't that a shame?'
How come I can still buy anything I want or need without someone saying they can't supply? Even the bare essentials every household needs is readily available, Wine whiskey, coffee, whipped cream, steaks.

Before Corona Virus I used to cough to cover a fart, now I fart to cover a cough. Taken from the Top Ten Coronavirus Jokes at https://www.keeplaughingforever.com/post/top-10-corona-virus-jokes
Uh, no. Trump did not cause Corona. Just like how Obama didn't cause Ebola.

I didn't like most of them, not funny. I like my joke better: What would happen if coronavirus mutated into an STD? There would be a lot more "f*****g" cases!
That was terrible. Work on your material and get back to us when you have something good.
Load More Replies... Think about this. The virus started in China. They lied and hid whats going on with it. They could have contained it. They let it spread hoping it would cripple the American economy and America will come crawling to them to borrow even more money to pay for all of the stimulus bills that'll be passed. Conspiracy? It's the perfect plan for world domination!
Oh, come now! America had idiots ruining its future LONG before the novel coronavirus ever mutated. If China had really wanted to f*ck us up, they would have done what Russia did in 2016. But, they got beaten to the punch.
