As confusing as the world is right now, there are not that many options but to live through it. With safety belts fastened and survival kits prepped, we’re gonna keep on rollin’ into 2020, which is like an old Klaxons song “Not Over Yet.”
So what's a better way to get your sanity deficiency cured than a dose of good humor? And not just any kind of humor. We’re talking about the new comedy genre of the year, pure gold in the mockery department, and already a cult classic—Bored Panda’s compilation of corona jokes.
The punapocalypse is back, so get your masks ready, 'cause it’s about to feel like someone turned on the laughing gas. Be sure to check out the previous parts here, here, and here. Trust me, just like wine, they even get better with time.

It's easy to lose hope with all the challenges that 2020 keeps throwing at us. Especially when you look at how the coronavirus has been resurfacing in some parts of the world in the past few weeks. There are now 10.5 million confirmed people who have been infected with Covid-19 worldwide; over 2.6 million of them are in the United States.
On Tuesday, June 30, more than 48k new coronavirus cases were confirmed in the US. Meanwhile, at least 36 states have cases trending upwards, some states have put a stop to easing lockdown regulations, and the number of new cases in the US has risen by 80 percent in the past 2 weeks. So it's easy to panic and to feel stressed.
However, laughter and seeing the silver lining can help psychologically and physically. And if you feel guilty about laughing during this crisis—don't. Humor helps us get through the toughest times.
Is it warm and hot and fogs up my glasses, yes. Does it help me know that I am protecting my 8 years old daughter who has me wrapped around her finger and my father in law who has had Parkinson's for over 20 years, YES.
Bored Panda previously spoke to comedy writer and comedian Ariane Sherine about whether or not it's all right to joke about the coronavirus during the pandemic.
According to her, it's "essential" to joke."Humor is a release mechanism to help us cope during dark times," she pointed out. Now that's something we should all keep in mind the next time someone tells us that we're being insensitive while laughing, don't you think, dear Pandas?
However, that's not the only plus of laughing during a crisis. Ariane told us that shared humor also helps us bond with one another. "Lockdown would be very gloomy indeed if we couldn’t laugh about our predicament!"
There are lots of fun ways to boost your mood if you've got the pandemic blues. Hilarious lists like this one work wonders, as do stand-up comedy shows, funny movies, and comedic books.
Comedy writer Ariane revealed that her personal favorite go-to funny movie during the lockdown is the 2004 flick 13 Going on 30. "It’s really heartwarming and the Thriller scene is hilarious. It always lifts my spirits when I’m feeling low."
What about you, dear Readers? What do you do to cheer up during these stressful times?
No one can see you speak with yourself, you can do train karaoke and as long you keep The mute, you can move your mouth. Save money on lipstick, can lick your lips when your crush come around. Even tell him/her everything Just moving lips without sound and still looking like you are Just eating buble gum.
I wear a mask and people still recognize me. Damnit! Which makes me wonder, how are they not catching all those masked outlaws?
You can also yawn during a boring conversation and not have to hide it
I beg to differ, you can definitely tell someone is yawning under their mask

unfortunate side of wearing a mask all the time: you and only you are the one to suffer for how bad your breath is.
I had no idea how nasty my mouth was before this.

Honestly I have COPD so am at high risk of death by Covid. Wearing a mask makes it more difficult for me to breathe and I loathe the feeling. But I still wear one in public. For all of the above reasons, quite enjoying the childlike pleasure of sticking my tongue out at people.
Exactly, I quite like wearing a mask, I don't need to look good, and I can scowl at people as much as I want
But they can still the eye roll....darn it....

Also no need to worry about garlic breath and cover your mouth when yawning.
Or shave the stash!😂 I've been kinda lazy lately...lol!

Also, my face is hidden in pictures and I don't even have to hide behind my brother.
You only need makeup on your eyes. Saved me a ton in face bondo. Lmao
Funny but no. Most financial institutions have multiple digital cameras at least in 3 locations to catch multiple angles. There are dye packs, buzzers and code words that they are all trained on. Most also have direct numbers to police stations closet to them to bypass 911 operators that take too much time to dispatch. I know, I audit these systems.

She's right. Emphasize how important it is that you stay safe and no American will object to wearing a mask.
I am sure there are people out there that would actually do as the sign says.
Guy did this at stop & shop less than 6 feet from me and it was not a short or light cough. I was worried for 2 weeks.
I'm a theatre nurse, masks become 2nd nature. Try wearing one whilst scrubbed (not allowed to touch face) and with a runny nose. You soon learn to suck that snot up lol
In Poland there is pretty many people who thinks it's conspiracy against their freedom.
I had come to the conclusion that there were only about 30 people in the world who knew the difference between 'your' and 'you're' and 'there', 'they're' and 'their'. BP makes me think that maybe there are more of us out there and who also think it matters. That gives me comfort in these dark times. Interesting, though, that the people who don't know the difference do seem to be, shall we say, cretinous morons. Interesting correlation, eh?
Unfortunately there are many people that seem to be missing the logical part of their brains.
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, too bad millions of more people need to admit it before you see any improvement.
Roses are red, violets are blue, use a mask babe, or your're dying too. The end.
We have a Polynesian joint here in town that uses one of the traditional wood and sharktooth swords for the same purpose. It is awesome. (They refuse to sell me the sword, it would look great in the gun rack on my redneck Jeep next to the butterfly net...owner says he will teach me to make my own when the pandemic ends if we both survive.)
From where Europeans standing it looks more like a hilarious freakshow playing 24/7 with every other second a new joke. We do have our share of stupid morons, but the US.......
Its a play of the taco shop's theme, "Lucha Libre". Even the bottom is awesome, "If you are a luchador, please wear both"
I think the rest of the world should also ban travel to and from the US. Too risky.
Yeah yeah yeah New Zealand is so easy to manage though. It's small and they don't even have snakes there. But good on you. Stay healthy and smug
Unfortunately, yeah, I did think 2020 would be a turnaround year for me- Lose weight, get engaged, make mustache much more on pointeder, buy new car and generally get off my a*s and upgrade my life. Then I got sad because reasons. Now, I'm optimistic again because I remember that 2020 is the end of this decade. Not the start of the next one. The next decade is gonna be my decade.
And yet the virus is not scared off. Must be they are doing it wrong.
man, i was just wishing for a 2020 update to death note recently, with all of the mask wearing
It took her exactly 9 days of being free and carefree to get infected. I'm sure there are Americans who can do better.....
I want to point out so much about this woman's health and mindset, but mostly I want to duck b/c damn, she can't handle a gun worth a c**p... What's her motto, SAFETY LAST? (Wait. No mask. Bare feet. Gun waving around. Yep. Safety last...)
In 2120 people will be too busy surviving to actually care how the streets looked in 2020.
Every time an American says "WE ARE THE BEST! WE ARE NUMBER 1" I think of the scene in Doctor who when the Daleks and Cybermen are arguing and the Daleks say "You are superior at dying!"
The way things are going I really don’t see the US coming back from this anytime soon.
I actually had to explain this to fellow choir members about 6 years ago. I had a bad cough and flu, but had to go to rehearsals to deal with sheet music. I wore a mask since I was coughing uncontrollably. They actually asked if I thought I would get sick from them. No, dummies, I'm already sick & have to be here, but want you all to be well when we perform in 2 weeks!!
Sadly, yes. Swine flu potential pandemic virus brewing already. PLEASE VACCINATE AGAINST FLU. Even if you get sick, it's not as bad as getting the full no-help-at-all-from-vaccine swine flu. Thank you. PSA over.
These are very funny, it's good to have a sense of humor during these times
Me pre-Covid19: "OK, I can cope with anything!:_____ Me now: "Please don't make me come out from under the bed!"
Anti-masker to doctor: You may have gone to medical school for over eight years, but I passed an online course on farming, so. . .
Oh, that was you. Um, maybe I should have not curved the grading....

I am not even remotely surprised about how things are going here in the US. We elected Donald f*cking Trump for christsake. I vote we just send everyone who refuses to wear a mask to Texas and let them 'govern' themselves. Hell, give them Oklahoma too. They can take Trump with them and call themselves the Independent Republic of Covfefe.
Hay I live in Texas. Keep your maskless trash to your self. We got tons of these idiots already.

Back when presidents were able to walk and run carrying the entire country on the shoulder.
I'm happy to live in a part of the US that isn't seeing an increase in new cases. Maybe it's because I live in the middle of no where, but no one wears masks around here, no social distance, everything is open and nothing. I honestly forget about Covid.
Just one infected person coming in from the outside will turn that into a hellsite.

Oh, these are too good! Just what I needed, a damn good laugh, especially the one with the masks made from bra cups
The title should be jokes about the politicization or masks rather than ‘Memes about the pandemic.”
I HAVE HAD SEVERAL DOCTORS TELL ME THAT A MASK IS TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE BUT THEY WEAR THEM TO KEEP THE FOOLS WHO BELIEVE OTHERWISE QUIET.
Seriously I can't breathe with a mask on and I know a lot of people have this problem. If I'm in a store I have to leave to get some air. Didn't bother me too much during the winter but the summer is awful. Easy to see how people marched into those box cars, tho.
If you honestly can't, your best bet is to stay home, because it sounds like you're in the high risk group of pre-existing medical conditions and it would be the best for your and everyone's safety.

That's what we bought. In the US. And hoarding is inappropriate in *any* nation if it puts medical personnel at risk so you can feel better while quarantined in your own home. IMHO. PEace.
