The pandemic has taken over the world and while health professionals and government authorities are working tirelessly to keep people as safe as possible, they are doing their best to make a difference as well. Washing their hands, social distancing, and creating jokes about the situation online, of course. It's one of the most popular coping mechanisms, helping everyone to handle their pandemic-related fears and anxieties. "The more we laugh at something, the less scary it looks," one board game developer has said.
From poking fun at our online orders to a moment of silence for our ever-worsening hairstyles, Bored Panda has collected the best coronavirus jokes this week, and for those who can't get enough of them, check out our previous compilations: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7, and part 8.

Unfortunately, we can't eliminate stress and anxiety from our lives. Especially during these uncertain times. We can, however, develop skills to manage them. "A sense of humor can be an amazing line of defense when it comes to coping with stress," Elizabeth Scott, MS, who's a wellness coach specializing in stress management and quality of life, wrote in Very Well Mind.
"Developing a sense of humor about life's challenges is a great place to start," Scott said. "A sense of humor will help you to build resilience to stress as well as improve your overall physical and emotional health. It will also enable you to bond with others, look at things in a different way, normalize your experience, and keep your relationships strong."
So, if we're already doing everything in our power to get through the pandemic, chances are that joking about it will only make things better.
"When you're in the middle of a difficult situation, it can seem overwhelming. Taking a step back, however, and viewing your situation as an observer can help you see your situation with a new lens. This is called reframing—and it works," Scott said.
I read everywhere that if you rub your glasses with soap and wipe them off until they are clear again without rinsing the soap.... this prevents the fogging. I use contacts so I haven't tested it, so one of you try and report back, plz hehe.
I heard it was wash your lenses in soapy water and wipe them off.

Fold a little piece of paper towel and stick it at the top of the mask. It absorbs extra moisture and helps with fogging
I'll tell my husband to try this. I'm tired of hearing him complaining. I get it, but you still gotta wear the mask!

Try living in the southern US in the summer. That’s everyday the moment you walk outside
that's why I moved from the Confederacy back to California

I have a homemade mask that my grandma made and it is really cute.(It doesn't fog up my glasses).
When your mask don't fog it's because it's well fitting.

I totally feel you, i have to wear a mask for 8 hours straight, with an occasional break
i went to the Doctor to get my cast removed and my dad gave me glasses wear and the Doctor said it takes professional practice to not fog up ur glasses
Just yesterday I said the same thing. Gotta wear the glasses lower, that helps.
Saw a hack that WORKS: Pull the edge of the mask over eyeglasses or sunglasses. They tend not to steam on the outside of the lenses. I couldn't find any explanation as to why.
rub the glass with washing up liquid. then wipe with a cloth. they won't steam up then. I do it to my bathroom mirror.
try cleaning your glasses with shaving cream,it helps! Or try the anti fog cleaner used for windows!🙂
Big problemo! I recently learned to loop the elastic before putting around ears. It tightens the seal below your eyes, and lets more moist air escape towards your ears.
when I went for food today, a small something flew into my eye. You can't imagine.
Yeah, try doing surgery with your glasses/face shield fogging up.... SOOOO annoying!! Why hasn't anyone invented tiny windshield wipers for glasses yet?
OMG every freaking day. We have to wear them all the time even in our vans but most of us are like nope
I totally agree with this. I can't wear glasses while I'm shopping for food...
Insert a little piece of wire to bend the mask around your nose. It helps a lot :) also, I place my glasses a bit lower, then they don't fog :)
This is sooo annoying. Am not frontline worker, but only wear mask and glasses while out market shopping. Can't see!!
If you pinch the nose more all the air will come out the top of your nose and not onto your glasses.
You need to really pinch the mask around nose to reduce this. There is also a solution swimmers use on their goggles you can use on your eye glasses for this
I thought it was just me breathing too hard or wearing me mask wrong.
I have these black horn-rimmed ones that people call 'ugly'... nope.
Just place the edge of the mask on the outside of the glasses. I know it won’t give you that perfect fitting to your nose area but solved my foggy problem when I used to work at the dental place.
Unfortunately then the mask cannot do its job. If you pinch the upper part to snugly fit your nose, it will.

It is such a serious problem that doctors in my country and police officials have insisted that it is not necessary for drivers to wear the mask while driving, as it poses serious safety risks. And yet I still see people at stoplights wearing glasses and masks and trying to look OVER the steamy glasses...
woopsie doodle is funnier than it should have been lol...i blame the time of day
I'm currently reading the book. It is brilliant. A good one for lockdown as it's 895 pages!
Far as I recall it reopened once, and that wasn't really a reopening since the original park never really went into business. And then it ran successfully for years - at least long enough for people to get *bored* with dinosaurs! - before another incident occurred.
No. He wasn't. He's an imbecile and so emotionally-r******d that he can't even take responsibility or ownership of the things he says. Trump believes that personal integrity is a flaw.
Yes, Don, you will need to move your head to get that disc up in there.
Don't know what that kid on the lower right is doing in this list. Compared to the others, her hair is practically red carpet level.
Racoon Reading list: "Art of War", "Fall of the Roman Empire" and "Building Improvised Explosive Devices using Items Commonly Found in the Forest, Dumpsters or Loud Metal Garbage Cans".
This joke presumes that Trump can actually read and understand words that have more than two syllables. He finished reading the first word and then got stuck. Now he's just looking at it to try to convince people that he's reading.

Frankly, I've had enough of all the political c**p with COVID-19. Trump is president, get over it. This is a national health crisis, and not a time to be pointing fingers and becoming more and more polarized and bipartisan.
You can hate trump all you want, and not vote for him and the next election, and that's great. But hate breeds hate. People need to cut it out with the insults, categorizing and labeling on the things that are political. Don't jump to conclusions, educate yourself and learn what's true and what's not. Step up. It's not that hard (:
