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.
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.
Only true if you live on your own! I'm looking forward to lockdown being over so everyone else can leave and I can get some peace and quiet!
Can't wait till the library opens. I'm sick of my parents

As an introverted “essential worker” at Costco, I wish with all my soul social distancing was here to stay
Uhh no. I’m an introvert. I preferred being an introvert with a job.
There are different degrees to which one is an introvert or an extrovert - or an omnivert. Like so many things there is a spectrum.

Actually for some of us this is taking a huge toll. We do like going to coffee shops, stores, hanging out with people, etc, we just need time away from it.
SO TRUE!! and I'm loving the bars are closed so my husband comes home after work instead of stopping to see friends for a round!
So true...unless you have kids. Lort, help me! And don't start with the, "Well then you shouldn't have had them." Yes, shouldn't HAVE, not shouldn't OF (Sorry, per peeve of mine).
This lockdown just exactly like my normal life except that I wear a mask at the grocery store and I sunbathe to keep my vitamin D level up.
Yes I'm happy with it, I feel bad about the people out of work though.
It's the first time we've had a legitimate reason to stay home and avoid people. Win.
i don't mind social distancing and all, but people are talking about introverts like we don't like going outside. I like going outside, just not interacting with people anywhere.
I never hid that I was waiting for the days to be stuck at home. Wrong reasons but still fine with me. I luvv to be home and hate to go out even for shopping once a week.
They said it was Trump and the Money People who wanted to go back to work and now he is leaving it up to the Governors, they aren't in a hurry to have extra deaths on their consciense either,,,,,now that they have it their way everyone is backing up,,I think it's funny to watch,,,,
As an introvert even I'm starting to get cabin fever, doesn't help I live with 4 other people lol
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 (:
