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.

Caring About The Important Things
They Are Doing Us Some Big Time Favour
Did housekeeping in a busy ER for over a year. I touched more beds and patients belongings in a night than a nurse might in a week! Don't forget the cleaners - nothing would happen without them
When I was stuck in the hospital for a week a couple years ago, I always talked to the cleaning staff. I said thank you to them for doing a great job. I wanted them to know that someone noticed the work they were doing and valued them for it. I hope it made their day a little better.

I know a few people who can work from home- quite easily- but chose not to. in spite of an executive order directing anybody who can, works from home. These people are not heros.

Cleaning personnel are the unsung heroes in every society and institution
There is a janator at my school who has to do EVERYTHING! its a really big school, and he is the only person who cleans it. Even during the covid19 outbreak...
All love to the those do the hardest jobs for the least money. The trash guys, the janitors, the kitchen workers. Bless them all.
Now where are all those people saying we don’t need to raise the minimum wage?
Ahhhh. Thanks to all of the people out there keeping this world clean
My praise goes to all the people who are providing us all with our broadband telephones and electricity so that we can still have communication with everyone watch the news and work. We would be so much worse off than we are now if we didn't have these as we wouldn't be able to FaceTime loved ones and keep an eye on them, and a lot more people would be ill or dead. They are the people I'm most grateful for next to the health workers.
Thank you. Not all of us "essential" workers are direct medical personnel, but are just as at risk.
It's easy to forget those with the less glamorous jobs but without them............
I am hurt by this one, surely it's everyone who is doing something to help that deserve recognition of our appreciation for their efforts..
Every person who lives through 2020 deserves a raise in their adult life.

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.

F**k me... I wish I was a circle, at least circles are cute. I've discovered a whole new shape from all the eating.
