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.
No one will speak up, but all the protestors are white. You have people of color protesting against police brutality or women protesting against having equal wages and rights and then you have white people needing their haircuts now. As a white person, this is embarrassing, hypocritical, and just flat out disgusting.
Anyone else wants to go to that lady and give her a razor shave? No, just me? Ok
🦅🇺🇸🌵🇲🇽🍁🇨🇦☘️🇨🇮🦅🇺🇸 Cut your own hair if it's bothering you so much. Who's going to see you if shelter in place and avoid contact with others. I cut my own hair and my son hasn't even noticed it yet. Look at this way. You're saving a bunch of money. When this is over, you can get the entire spa treatment with the savings.
Your son hasn't noticed your hair because he's a dude lol. I bet your husband didn't notice either. Just a joke on the males even though I'm a male lol

Oh common don't get petty. It doesn't make a difference. She's out their standing for what she believes in. That's what matters. Take your equal rights women are smarter rants somewhere else.
Load More Replies...truth...I was a burn icu nurse way back when. Working night shift a pt came in who had been shocked at work (Lineman) for the electric co. The supervisor who came in with him was nasty and making totally inappropriate comments about and too the pt. A few month later who ended up on my shift as my pt? Burn wasn't as bad as his staff was but in the opportunity to eff with him. I had to give a shot for pain and we have a huge syringe used to flush tube feed lines. Well you can also put a large needle on that syringe. The first time I came at him with it he nearly lost function of his body's fluids! I think he got the point (XD). I'm a witness more times that I say Karma is a b***h and she wears stilettos, smokes cigars and has patch over both eyes!!!
A comment (actually a table) not rooted in science or data, but ignorance.
YES!! Nurses rock and, of course, all the doctors and the unsung staff. Woman on the right, go home and give yourself a haircut, maybe that'll convince you to stay home.
If you "need" a haircut that badly then do it yourself. I haven't had a haircut since last summer.
The nurse looks like Rey - both of them (the nurse and Rey, not the protester) are heroes ;)
Look, I color my hair... shades of blue and teal. And it's 8 weeks old now. And I'M not bitching about it. I find it amusing that women are getting their panties in a bunch because their hair needs did. (Anyone a "30 Rock"fan?)
By right wing "logic" if you call it by the wrong name (ref: "clip" vs. "magazine") then you have no credibility and neither does anything you say.
There is no right wing logic, just a lot of sad, angry failures brainwashed into behaving like nazis but pretending like everyone else is a fascist. Extreme stupidity
Load More Replies...then how has Protestor Karen money for a haircut? btw, a lot of doctors and nurses are facing deductions of their income, because the hospitals are not making their estimated profit.

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.
I don't see any dolphin but I do see a drowned deer.
In nursing school right now. Our online exams are proctored by people over webcam to make sure we don't cheat.
We're supposed to go back to work next week and I'm already crying... How am I supposed to wear a bra now that my boobs are so used to their freedom???
I'm in week 6 of quarantine... it is no longer relaxing for me. I never would have anticipated this. I'm stressed out every day and I have trouble figuring out why.
If they're going to leave 2 available why not the 2 furthest away from each other?

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 (:
Load More Replies..."Bad political memes by the salty left still pissed off that Hillary is not their President" ....there, I fixed the title of listicle for you.
Omg. No one mentioned Hillary. Its not 2016. Just coz u don't like her doesn't mean Trump is automatically a better choice. I'd rather let my cat run the usa
