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.
I think the reson is that there trying to stay in shape b/c gyms are closed

They are not only running they are playing "Sidewalk is lava". Running right in the middle of the road while we "essential heroes" trying to get to work in the morning.
They're stupid about it too.. Don't know how many times I've almost hit or ran someone over bike riding my 7 year old route daily. .. Stay on your side of the path & look where your going!!!
More excited for this lock down to end so people will stop exercising.

This is so true. I see people walking dogs that I never even knew had a dog. Like, what do you do when no quarantine? Not walk your dog?
Many news about Corona time dogs from shelter adoption or foster.

🦅🇺🇸🌵🇲🇽🍁🇨🇦☘️🇨🇮🦅🇺🇸 Where are they running to? Just looking at them makes me tired. I'm going to take another nap.
Same here. Suddenly everyone is a nature lover and simply must be outside running
We had a neighbor, that I have never seen in 13 yrs of living here, set up his bar-b-que and fixed ribs for any takers. Had lines at 6 ft though so up until you got to the grill you were good LOL
No sh*t!! I actually had to drive to my office today to turn my machine on (windstorm knocked the power out) that I remote into (wearing gloves and a mask!!!) and it was frickin' gridlock on the main roads. Don't these guys know they are supposed to be home? Everything is closed - where are they going? Did they all need something from the office?????
on point! never ever seen so many runnin people before. But playgrounds and fitness centers are closed. Kindest regards from Germany!
Or, people actually borrowing dogs. Even worse, people adopting dogs when they will abandon them after.
This is way to true. I never knew but there this family and she is my neighbor wow like didn't know that
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.

If you want to witness madness first hand, check out the Open Our State protest in Dallas last week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L2cZoTApbc&t=1s
As a former Texas resident, I am extremely disappointed by the stupidity of some of our state

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 (:
