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.
Having a designated person going around supermarkets making sure everyone is keeping their distance is so good I want them to stay.

One couldn't agree more. I've got to admit I'm rather enjoying this isolation. #hellodarknessmyoldfriend
My husband and I have been staying 6 ft awayfrom each other for the past 22 yrs
And do away with social hugs forever!! Much less the kissing! It's become the only way women friends greet each other.
Agreed. Social distancing has been a challenge in the Southern US. Usually, everyone hugs everyone. Strangers strike up a conversation in Walmart and then shake hands or pat each other on the shoulder before walking away. People think nothing of standing shoulder to shoulder while talking or waiting in line. Basically, no one has any sense of personal space down here.
Oh find this so charming. Here in Switzerland People are very cold. Does everbody mix, blacks and Whites in the Southern States.

If you want people to stay away - wear a mask. People literally do anything to avoid you.
I was thinking about the yesterday. Will 6 feet become the new bubble.
Right? I love that no one's crowding me at the counter when I'm buying groceries.
Everythig is clmer but, even 2 metes away we can still SMILE to each other ?!!
Midwesterners: the neighbors are too close, we gotta move...they're half a mile away...
After social distancing is over I would prefer it if I could hug my orthodontist because at that point these braces would have screwed up my teeth more than they were already screwed up!
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.
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

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.

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.

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.
