The Funniest Coronavirus Jokes To Lift Up Your Spirits During Self-Isolation (New Pics)
The very premise of this article might sound ridiculous. After all, what could possibly be funny about a global pandemic that has altered our everyday lives, shutting down entire countries, and redefining the very notion of human interaction? In times of crisis, however, when we're scared, don’t know what the hell is going on or when will it all end, comedy seems to be one of the best coping mechanisms and laughter is the best medicine.
So, as the coronavirus continues to spread across the world, let's try and find a sense of reprieve in these dire circumstances, shall we? Bored Panda has collected another series of viral memes, best jokes, and just about everything else that pokes fun at the difficult situation we're currently in.
To check out more funny jokes about coronavirus, fire up our previous posts: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4.

Dr. Anthony Fauci Unveils A Mask That Could Save Millions Of Lives
He forgot to cover the nose too. We don't need any more hot air escaping.
Peter McGraw, Ph.D., a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and director of the Humor Research Lab, said he and colleagues have established is that humor can emerge from benign moral violations. These are threats to worldviews that still manage to come off as harmless.
“The things that are bad in our life can also be good fodder for comedy,” McGraw told Inverse. “The act of making cool jokes is about transforming these violations and transforming them into something that is laugh-worthy. It allows us the opportunity to see situations differently.”
Mother Nature
The second benefit, according to the expert, is that it's easier being positive when laughing at a good joke. Studies show that when we hear a joke that resonates with our sense of humor, our brain likes it. As soon as the punch line hits, our brain’s reward system lights up and releases “feel good” neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins.
What allows us to find certain serious topics funny is psychological distance, and this is mediated by four dimensions: spatial, temporal, social, and mental. McGraw said that psychological distance is what psychologists call a moderator — it can either turn up or turn down an effect.
“Things that seem absurd are immediately encoded as unreal — even if it’s actually something that is real,” McGraw explained. “That can help enhance the likelihood that it’s seen as amusing.”
Please! Thanks In Advance
A group of researchers also demonstrated that humor can both prevent negative emotions and cure them. In their experiment, participants watched a video of a stand-up routine and a compilation of graphic fatality scenes. When people watched the stand-up before the scary video, it made the fatalities feel less stressful. Meanwhile, when they watched the stand-up afterward, the clip reduced some of the anxiety caused by the first video.

Seriously, people I've never seen outside in three 9 years we've lived in this house. Suddenly they're all outside. With dogs not on leashes, and if they ARE on a leash it's because they're huge, but they've never walked them before so they can't control them anyway... that might just be a "my neighborhood" problem though.

Many people consider the things government does for them to be social progress but they regard the things government does for others as socialism. ~Chief Justice Earl Warren
A “DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST” is not a “Marxist Socialist” or a “Communist”. A “Democratic Socialist” is still a “Capitalist”, just one who seeks to restrain the self-destructive excesses of capitalism and channel government’s use of our tax money into creating opportunities for everyone. “Democratic Socialist” believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically to meet human needs, not simply to make profits for greedy few. “REPUBLICAN SOCIALIST” Republican Socialism: a system of society in which the wealth of the middle & lower classes is misappropriated and redistributed amongst the wealthiest and most corrupt individuals and unethical corporations, against the best interests and well-being of the majority.
I found this explanation which I was impressed with. I read this on another site and can’t take credit for it.

I wish someone would invent a word other than socialism. The right become so aggravated when hearing the word, regardless of the context, or benefits people may derive from it.
Just like with the goldman sachs bail outs and automotive bail outs, the big companies believe in capitalism until they arent making money and than want money to be saved. God forbid regular people ask for it
A bailout is not socialism, you idiot. Socialism is when government takes control of production and services. A bailout is reverse taxation...subsidies. Are you people here dumb or just children? No wonder Mao and Hitler were able to take control of countries and murder millions.

you already paid the taxes, this is giving you a portion of it back.
People who mewl about socialism benefit from it every day. Public libraries, public parks, public schools, public works, municipal police and fire departments, and so on and so on.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the 1000. dollar or so checks that will hit some mailboxes will be much smaller percentage of the rather large corporate bail out that will be part of this bill.........I'm kind of guessing while some of us eat top ramen.......there will be those that will continue eating and living well as we the taxpayers help fund their businesses.
How do you call leaving a 17 yo boy to die of Covid out the hospital because he didn't have an insurance then? Uhm... Democracy? Freedom of choice?
I call it an irrelevant question since as things are now, anyone can go to the er and get treated regardless of ability to pay.

Whatever it is, I’ve probably used it to describe them.

Actually, the funds we are getting this time are tax exempt and will not count as earned income. Still, it is socialism. However, no government has ever been a 100% capitalist society.
They say there will be no taxes on the hand out money unless you made too much during 2020 then you pay back the excess.
The money doesn't get paid back by each person. We've done this twice before in the last 20 years and never paid it back. We always get money back on our tax returns.
I just watched A Quiet Place kill count video (never seen the movie really want to) and I learned that Jim played Jack Ryan... Seems really random...

See Burnie’s ideas are not as dangerous as the Corporate types would like you to think.
Our situation is not socialism. Government does not own means of production, it is tempory and socialism is not a temporary state, it is not sustainable beyond the temporary as we cannot sustsin a system of most workers sitting at home and not producing.
This isn't socialism though. The government f****d up, and they are reimbursing people for their f**k up. They forced businesses to shut down. FORCED THEM TO SHUT DOWN. They are now paying people only because they forced them to be out of a job.
Agreed. Bizarre situation we're in. Why didn't they instead tell vulnerable people to stay home (elderly, people with asthma or compromised immune systems etc)? Are they seriously going to keep everyone with "non essential" jobs home until the virus is gone? That will take months. Can we say "deep economic recession"?

Here's something to consider: where I live train schedulels have been reduced because there aren't as many comuters. This means that the people that DO have to work (essential services) are all forced together in a crowded train, with no chance at distancing. Keeping the trains running isn't always about profits.

Why were there 5 memes about the fact that the queen is immortal when a 103-year-old survived coronavirus?
