The coronavirus continues to spread and has infected more than 26 million people all over the world. It’s no laughing matter and sometimes it’s tough to see the silver lining in life. But finding some humor in this thoroughly miserable state of affairs and poking fun at 2020 helps keep our spirits up.

That’s why Bored Panda brings you the newest edition of coronavirus jokes that people are sharing online. Upvote your favorite corona jokes, let us know which ones you liked the most and why, and make sure to check out our latest lists here, here, as well as here.

And remember, dear Pandas—even Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson reminds us all to wear our masks. We gotta do what The Rock says, there’s no two ways about it. I mean, imagine saying ‘no’ to The Rock! Meanwhile, comedian and comedy writer Ariane Sherine told Bored Panda that she believes humor today is far more pessimistic and darker than at the start of the year because the pandemic's much more serious than most of us first thought. "But on the upside, there’s also a shared sense of camaraderie and getting through tough times together." Scroll down for the rest of the interview.

Just like many of us, Ariane limits the amount of time she spends absorbing corona-related news nowadays. "I get my news in bite-sized chunks from Twitter. I read the news articles they recommend but I never watch the television news as I find that a lot more emotive and distressing than written news," she said. It's good for our emotional health to limit how much time we spend thinking about the coronavirus each day.

According to Ariane, there are some things waiting for us in the near future that could be cause for renewed hope and optimism. "The news that a vaccine is just around the corner is cause for optimism, but whether most people will be willing to take it or not is another matter. Hopefully, the pandemic will be over entirely by this time next year," she said.

Please let's make this viral!!!! I work 2 jobs, medical (ft) and retail (pt). With all of the virtual assistance available, if y'all need a simple requisition or a case of coke, think twice, stay your a*s at home. A global pandemic is not the time for these minute things! PS: what's with all the STI checks right now?!?! Where is the discipline people?!?!

What i don't get is this. You have to wear a mask until you sit down to eat. How does that make any sense? Like, your safe as long as you're sitting down???

I have asthma. My pulseox starts at 92. Would you like me to never go out? I wear a mask but sometimes have to take it off to catch my breath. We're not all terminally ill, necessarily have anything but occasionally need to breathe.

Paper masks will not lower your 02. We wear them 12 hrs. plus, a day, in the operating room.

I do have trouble breathing through a mask but indeed, that shouldn’t be a reason to go outside without one. It is what it is, if you can’t wear one, you need to stay away/inside

That being said; I have never been more thankful to needing a wheelchair or my disability scooter than in 2020 because I would’ve fallen to the ground countless times with the lesser oxigen lol Driving around lightheaded more times than I can count (on those two, I would never drive around in a car when lightheaded of course so thank goodness that mask can stay off once the doors close. I always need a while to “get fully back” before I can safely drive away but at least I HAVE an option that allows me to go out when need be. Just never thought I’d be so thankful for that wheelchair and disability scooter lol

I would just make a sign to say: No mask - No entry. Trespassers will be shot.

That’s pretty much what a lot of airlines are saying as well! They’re not letting people on without a mask regardless if they have a medical condition

A paper mask will not compromise your 02 levels. If you have severe anxiety & need to fly and wear a mask, there are medications.

I got my hair cut once since Covid arrived. I asked the guy to pls. pull his mask up over his nose. He declined, and said he has asthma. Working in a salon? With sprays and chemicals? I must look really stupid....

The font size under the mask should be 5 times as big. Fakes like those bringing their filthy, hair-shedding dogs inside supermkts & pharmacies that sell food...pretending they're support dogs. 98% of those w/dogs living near CVS take their dogs to p**s inside its store [& NYC law says they don't hafta show 'Support Animal" I.D.; it's got foto]. Unlike other countries who've licked C~19, Americans are 1D10Ts.

I'm seeing a disturbing rise in non-mask-wearing in local businesses in my small town. A local convenience store has signs on the doors requiring masks, as mandated by the state AND the HQ of their franchise (the signs are branded with their logo). Inside? Not a mask to be seen on anyone, not even employees. I asked why, since there were signs on the doors requiring masks - the response was that they just decided they weren't doing it anymore. Another local business (owned by known anti-mask people) has a sign on their door saying, "The state government tells us we have to tell you to wear a mask in our business or face a penalty for not enforcing their mandate. If you enter our business without a mask, we will not provide one, and we will assume you have a medical reason for not wearing one." Result? Again, not a single mask in sight - anywhere.

I can see what it is saying but, do yo understand what you are really asking? Some people including one fifth of all disabled people are planning to stay in till a widely spread successful vaccine is available this could be years. Can you imagine that? And why maybe a monthly trip to a Harvester is seen as a worthwhile risk?

Previously, Bored Panda spoke about staying optimistic and hopeful in these trying times with psychologist, priest, and published author Dr. Fraser Watts. According to him, optimism is a matter or prediction while hope is a matter of attitude.

"In the present situation, I don't think there are any good grounds for optimism, and to be optimistic would be a retreat into a fantasy world. However, even in present circumstances, it is possible and really helpful to maintain a positive, hopeful attitude,” he said.

Dr. Watts explained that staying hopeful about the future requires practice and cultivating a positive mindset. “It is useful to be clear that hope does not depend on believing that everything is going to be fine. It is more an act of will."

Meanwhile, the question of whether or not anyone should be making jokes about the coronavirus is on some people’s minds. Earlier, Know Your Meme’s Senior Editor Matt Schimkowitz told Bored Panda we need to evaluate each joke on a case-by-case basis.

ADVERTISEMENT

“There are plenty of great coronavirus memes and plenty of bad ones. I think when it comes to a situation like that, one that affects everyone on a global scale, it's kind of fair game. Of course, there's a line, I think, when you start mocking other people's experiences with the virus,” he explained.

Yes and then they’ll blame you if you get bitten by them. Jerks.

The meme expert added that some people will always be offended by some jokes and it’s impossible to fully reconcile them with the people who make jokes. “It's possible to make jokes about sensitive topics, but you have to listen to your audience in order to get there.”

Schimkowitz isn’t too fired up about the rest of the year. “Sorry to say, it's not looking good. We're currently in the middle of a global pandemic, so I think for many people it's probably going to continue being pretty painful. Oh, and there's a US election coming up, which are usually calm, orderly events with no problems, partisanship, or societal ruptures. Sorry to be a bummer!”

Some things are so awful you have to choose whether to laugh or cry. Either way, do it behind your mask.

My 2020 calendar was "A F*cking Calendar". September's month is "Holy Sh!t Balls" and it has random quips such as "F*cking Pumpkin Everything" on random days. Along with the middle finger stickers, and some that say "Suck it Up" I feel it was spot on for what this year brought us!

I swear if this virus was visible to the naked eye people would stay the f**k home. I mean, some people had trouble accepting germ theory in the first place. "What do you mean there are tiny creatures making me sick? Everyone knows illness comes from bad smells."

I was just about to push the door open to a shop and in the reflection behind me I saw a man wearing a mask. First thought "oh bugger" - about turn!

That’s how I felt when I heard “must be free”, when a product wouldn’t scan or had no price tag.
