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
She's one if the most powerful people in the world, goes shopping on her own in the supermarket near the parliament (yes it's real, all the cashiers know her) after work, like all of us, and goes out the next day to keep her country safe, yet again. Yes, she's in quarantine right now, the photo was taken before. She's been tested negative. All other f***ing idiot leaders (yes, you Trump and BoJo) could learn a few things.
She's not perfect-- she's the main reason why the EU coronavirus bonds are blocked, because she's worried that countries that are richer, like Germany, will be paying for countries most in crisis, like Italy, Spain etc. She wants to use the EU bailout bonds instead, the same thing that they used to bailout Greece, but they then put Greece government under austerity measures. Austerity measures means the EU would have a say how the governments that borrow bonds spend the money if they think that they are not getting their loan back. They can intervene and cut the government budget. They are not always great because they can cut off poor people when they most need help (pensions etc). I'm not saying she's wrong to want to protect Germany's economy, but this is a trying time, and looking only for your own countries economical best interest at the expense of the death and suffering of the world is something that doesn't sit well with me. This is going to hit all of us. We need more unity.

OMG I feel so validated right now. I went shopping today for the weekend. And I bought 1 package of toilet paper, 2 IPAs and 2 bottles of wine. You go girl!
To be fair, he'd probably get shot or bombarded with eggs (or stones. I feel partial to stones)

Sigh! EU leaders are better at setting priorities than US "leaders".
The Quebec premiere does (Canadian province). In one of his speech he said: to release the stress, do some exercise, a walk, or have some wine. I chose wine lol.

How is wine an essential item.. Come to think of it how come she is not faced with empty shelves and a 2 month wait for an online delivery..
You GO, Grrrl! Show the world how a responsible person behaves in a crisis.
Maybe that is just for 1 night or there will be 4 and since I'm sure she is social distancing each person will have their own bottle. Lol
Wine kills the virus. The elite are always served 1st. After they've gone, the shelves are empty. It's like some places that are having specific hours for seniors only, but in this case, it's so the elites don't have to be exposed to the common people.
She's negative and in quarantine since a couple of days. The picture could be taken months ago. She always does he own grocery shopping. ;)

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?
