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.

I hope Trump and his whole crew of sycophants and enablers get sick. That goes doubly for Mitch.
Regardless if you hate someone, you should NEVER wish they get sick. I cannot stand Trump, but I will never wish that he nor anyone else get ill.

They are the person telling you not to play in the road while...playing in the road. People, especially gullible people, will follow their actions not their "advice". The reason I would want them to be inflicted with an illness, that will put them out of commission, is to allow someone who actually knows what they are doing, to take over.
This is the arrogance presidency. What else would you expect? Aggressively arrogant ignorance is this administration’s most defining trait.
haha.. "Actions that cushions the blow of the virus.." ahahah you mean In action right? doof

Coming from a DC Native, that room is ridiculously small. It only looks big on TV.

The photo is designed to let Americans know that many people within the administration are working hard for solutions.
Load More Replies...All except Dr. Tony, he is a good guy. The only believable one on stage.
Trump doesn't even believe the words that come out of his mouth. Or he doesn't give a rat's a*s about his staff.
Notice that the reporters also are sitting close together. In Denmark they stand 2 m (7 feet) away from each other.
Trump is insecure. He has to have his supporting team behind him; at least physically. All except one supports his " yadda yadda , let me tell the people what I believe". Even if it is wrong.
I really hope he see how it should be done. Than man have blood on his small hands.
A look at "American Exceptionalism" in the Exceptionally Stupid category.
ok people, Trump has had 4 years to wise up. He has not, and has hurt many people. He is a racist nasty person. So get off of your m***********g high horse and realize that it would be good for everyone if he got sick. Stop preaching goodness and honesty when immigrant children are being yanked away from their parents because of this man.
Clueless. Now ask the evangelicals to explain natural selection.
For mph seti to leave such a horrific post is disgusting and sick minded. Regardless of what you or I might think of either side of the political system. To want Trump,Nancy Pelosi, the press or any of Trumps front line workers to get this horrendous virus ,is morally wrong. You mph seti ,should be ashamed of yourself.
The difference is that all the people on the bottom have been tested and are negative.

So tired of the hate people. Please stop. Support your President during this crisis or shut it. We don't need more hate we need people pulling together. Get over your possession and get an exorcism.
oh really. So im supposed to support this man who is racist and nasty. I don't give two shits about him and I will never, ever support him. And who are you to talk about hate? Have you even heard and seen the things he said? Get off your high horse.
Load More Replies...Lets be honest. This clown said the virus was a Democrat hoax. I dont care if you vote at all, to have any leader say this shows they have some serious mental issues. Americans are generally a confused bunch. They vote in a nut, let their people die, spend more on health but dont want to aid the poor. Even if you are Republican, your savings are lower and worse than when Obama was President... Sady, America has ended its run.
Well they like to spread the word and the virus apparently
He's a funny guy to say the least. And he sure does praise himself a lot. Am I the only one that thinks that
High on stimulus? The package I've heard is being approved gives my family of 6 twice the amount of our rent. In other words it pays the bills for 1 month. I'm thankful, but if the quarantine lasts longer than that, the $ won't allow me to buy luxuries or allow my massage therapist husband to not need a new career!

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.

I’m just gonna say it now; Trump and his supporters would be perfectly safe during a zombie apocalypse.
Why were there 5 memes about the fact that the queen is immortal when a 103-year-old survived coronavirus?
