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!
Yep, that's why it says above that he saw it coming

In my experience, what greatly amazes non-Anglo-Saxons when they visit Anglo-Saxon countries are the assuded warnings, in fact, not to drink bleach, not to jump into the space between the platform and the train, not to use improper things to suffocate themselves etc.
Peps hello, I totally agree with you. I had a gift shop in Switzerland and sold Swiss knives. One Usa tourist asked me how to contact the Company that made them in order to sue them in case she cut herself with the knife. I refused to sell her one. To this day I still can't understand this very unadult behavior, you are an adult then you are responsible for your actions, no.? Most of my family emigrated to the States. The last time I visited them I was most surprised to read on the microwave not to dry your dog in it. For the European that I'm this is beyond my comprehension. Sueing for a yes or no is so cheap and small. I'll never understand this very strange and sad mentality.

And, exactly why those labels are necessary.😢 Both, desperately depressing.😨
Many chainsaws have warnings: DO NOT HOLD GUIDE BAR/CHAIN BETWEEN LEGS OR UNDER ARM.
Much as I dislike Rickey Gervais, and really do NOT understand why people think he's funny, he makes a valid point.
Like the tag on the wife's curling iron... "For External Use Only!" Wondering what sicko made that tag necessary... Oh... yeah... the world is full of them.
OMG! I was just thinking about that. TBH, I can't believe Pres. Trump said that.
The question that remains is; is he presiding? You see the word is a verb and not just a title any puppet can put on his door. Definition of preside over 1 : to be in charge of something (such as a meeting or organization) The vice president presided over the meeting. The Chief Justice presides over the Supreme Court. He has presided over the company for 15 years. 2 : to be in charge of a country, company, etc., during (a particular time or activity) She presided over a period of relative peace and prosperity. Operative words here: in charge of, something he clearly is not. He's not even in charge of his own brain. I have a relative who's mouth has no connection to her brain, it just burps out whatever. But she is not the 70y/o president, she's my 13y/o daughter. Because adolescence.
The fact that you connected the two may be the problem... :-)
The hell we did, that b***h didn't get the popular vote meaning the actual citizens most certainly DID NOT vote that Narcissistic Psychopath for f*cking anything.

And so can you. You sound like a lifetime Hilary voter. Why don't you try for a date?(Bill is usually busy)
Ricky Gervais is British and has made it publicly known he has no desire to become an American citizen. Seeing as he foreign born, he can neither vote for nor be the POTUS. Safe to say he's not a lifetime Hillary voter. Not his type anyways.

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 (:
