People Cannot Stop Posting Corona Jokes And Here Are 50 Of The Best Ones This Week (New Pics)
In a time of trouble and anxiety, humor and laughter can go a long way to help us feel better and make the situation a little more bearable.
Yes, the coronavirus is still ravaging the world. Yes, the number of cases has surpassed 4 million globally. But some people continue to fight the pandemic with jokes and the new ones are just as good as the ones they shared at the beginning of the outbreak.
From ridiculous conspiracy theories to canceled vacations, continue scrolling to see what everyone has come up with this week, and check out our previous compilations: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7, part 8, and part 9.
This post may include affiliate links.
Ferne Pearlstein, the director of The Last Laugh, a documentary about the role of humor among Jews during, and after, the Holocaust, told The New York Times that while doing research for it she and her team “found that humor was not uncommon — and was used as a coping mechanism in a situation of almost unimaginable horror, as a means of self-defense, a counterattack for people who had few, if any, other ways of fighting back, and even as just simple diversion.”
One Auschwitz survivor, Renee Firestone, said in the film that she could not help but see the bleak irony after the infamous Nazi physician Josef Mengele told her during an examination: “if you survive this war, you better have your tonsils removed.”
“The instinct to laugh shows that we were still human beings while in the camps,” Ms. Firestone explained. “This inner sense of humor is what kept me alive.”
RELATED:
And it isn't anything new. If we were to go back even further and take a look at, for example, the bubonic plague of the 14th century (also known as the Black Death), we would discover that humor was important then as well. While the disease killed large parts of the population of Europe, it also spawned the pointed satire of the Church and other authorities in “Decameron,” by Boccaccio. The classic concerns a group of young people who flee pestilence-ridden Florence for a series of villas in the countryside.
So don't worry about releasing a chuckle when scrolling through these pics. It’s natural to be amused by some of them.

If you’re in a position to, stay home and spread the word. My grandfather just came back from the hospital, everyone is rushing to his side while wearing face masks. I’ve been his caretaker and translator even as a teen, but I’m sitting this one out for myself and for him. This is literally the only time that your selflessness is be home and learning a new skill or just chilling.

I don't get to stay at home because my government thinks that the economy is more important than the health of the workers in said economy. I'm not an "essential" worker (not in healthcare or food production/distribution) but I do face the public everyday. I would much rather be staying at home and knowing that I'm safe rather than wondering if the next person to walk into the office is the one to make me sick. You might be bored staying at home constantly but at least you're safe.

I have a pediatric home care agency. Every day our nurses wear n95 masks and gloves and take the temperature of everyone in the household before administering clinical care and then again when they leave. Our babies have diagnoses that are as bad or worse than COVID-19. Our nurses live in a sad environment where mistakes of others have visited these children and the babies will pay the price. Do yourself a real personal favor and wear the masks, wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds and enjoy a little levity with these pics. Thank you, Ilona for giving us something to smile about in this time of high anxiety.

Thank you. Also if you go hiking in a state park please realize there are small paths that will put you less than 6ft away from people outside your home. Bring you mask and wear it! If I can get my 3 year old son to wear his for a couple of hrs than you can too( my son is bull headed and didn’t want to wear it at first but he he finally saw how serious things were getting and allows me to put the mask on without a fight).

I was ill with pneumonia in January/February this year and have got two things to say about it. First, I have never imagined that a simple task such as breathing could be almost impossible with that painful hard coughing - it made me vomit on daily basis. Thus, you can bet I take covid-19 seriously. Second, I was wearing surgical masks in order not to infect my boyfriend who was taking care of me. At that time, one mask cost me 2 CZK (roughly £ 0.06/$ 0.08). Nowadays, one mask costs from 20 to 50 CZK (£ 0.64 - 1.61/$ 0.80 - 1.99) which is insane! Let alone the fact that the surgical ones do not work as well as double layer cotton ones. Please wear a mask to keep save people around you. And who would like to get more information about masks, sanitisers, etc. be my guest and watch Ann Reardon's video. She is a food scientist and has done a great research not only about this topic :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMHySlDqpUw&t=

eventually, everyone is going to catch this virus, everyone here knows that, correct? flattening the curve DOES NOT mean less people catch it, it means less people AT ANY ONE TIME catches it, as to not overwhelm the hospitals. this virus is very similar to the common cold virus...billions spent...no vaccine, so don't expect that to come "save" everyone. herd immunity is what's going to defeat this eventually, like it does 99% of all virii. the vast majority of people who catch the virus DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY DID. let that sink in...using data from the prison system of the 3,300 inmates who tested positive for either the anti-bodies or the actual virus, 96% WEREN'T EVEN AWARE THEY HAD IT! of the 4% who did notice it, like maybe 1% died, all of them elderly and obese. so we are talking about a real world mortality rate of 1% of 4% = 0.04% approx. THIS IS REAL WORLD DATA NOT MODELS THAT TIME AND TIME AGAIN HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE COMPLETELY WRONG BY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE. thanks!

Crazy to see how big areas vs small areas handle the virus. I live in the middle of nowhere and we never really shut down anything but restaurants and no one really wears masks and we've only had a few mild cases a month or so a go, one death and over 1000 negative.
Johnny 4 years ago
Part of it is luck, you just need a small cluster to start, maybe the clerk down at the gas station/mini mart gets infected, then you've got a growing infection on your hands and you better hope you're the only community it's affecting or your small county healthcare system is soon going to be overwhelmed. Every community, large and small, should be practicing social distancing until there's a vaccine available.

@Johnny, thank oyou. OUr hospital serves 7 rural counties. It just took ONE case... and then it was 100... and we ran out of bed rights quick about a month or so ago... Just b/c Covid19 hasn't gotten to someone *yet) doesn't mean it *(won't*

At the beginning of this whole thing bored panda posted several articles refuting mask use. Pointless, even dangerous to wear one. Interesting how the opinion has swung. Perhaps we ought to think about how easily we are led by the media.
Leo Domitrix 4 years ago
Actually, the whole point of previous posts here and elsewhere was: use the mask correctly. Only if you are sick. Then we realized... OK, we might get some safety by wearing masks if healthy. And the advice changed. It's called... wait for it... "knowledge-informed progress".
Load More Replies... xiaomiao 4 years ago
Actually the whole point was to discourage mask hoarding by civilians. It was an attempt to manipulate action by spreading misinformation. Necessary, maybe, hard decision definitely, but it was misinformation. And experts haven't magically progressed to realize that the mask that protects doctors and nurses can protect bus drivers and grocery store clerks. You were lied to. Be safe, use common sense.
Katie and Jared Coates 4 years ago
Yep! I agree. At first I didn't wear one because I thought we didn't have enough and that you only wore it if you had symptoms. We still can't find any for sale, but the hospital gave us some basic ones. I finally got my parents wearing them too, so big step!
Aria Whitaker 4 years ago (edited)
@xiamiao...Those links are not "refuting mask use"...you DO get that right? They are saying that masks are NOT for you to not catch the virus...they are for OTHERS not to get the virus from YOU in case you are an asymptomatic carrier and do not know it....and do not spread it to everyone you talk to or cough around. So, AGAIN...where are the several articles REFUTING mask use?? You know what "to refute" means, right? She also was referring to N95 masks that there are a shortage of...not saying that masks do not help stop the spread...which would be the definition of "refuting their use".

What we're being "led" by is science, not the media (which is hardly monolithic in the first place). Scientific inquiry is a process; findings are accepted until disproven by further inquiry. In the case of masks, we know now that they are essential in certain conditions and optional in others.
Leo Domitrix 4 years ago
Infectious Disease at Johns Hopkins initially said to only wear a mask if in health care or vulnerable or sick; the advice changed to more "general mask-wearing" when we realized we're not clued in on all the tricks Covid19 has in store (but we will know).
Liz Karsa 4 years ago

xiaomiao 4 years ago
People with compromised immune systems (chemo/organ transplant) have been encouraged to wear masks in public for decades to lessen their potential exposure to disease. It's not a great leap to surmise that a mask could lessen exposure to disease for healthy people as well.
K. aka letmeplaywithkittens 4 years ago
We are learning as we go. I get that we're upset with organizations feeding us misinformation, but not all are the same and awful in equal measure. In an ideal system, it would limit exposure while preventing the shortage which are critical to healthcare and essential workers. We are allowed to fix and correct our mistakes and own up to them as we move forward. The fact that people had to work and risk their lives and those of other people in order to earn a paycheck is far insidious. The fact that it could bankrupt them to seek treatment in the initial days. That was a critical flaw in the US health system. That people still (nonessential) traveled and hoard in droves when lockdown was imminent, that's where you should focus your ire. That landlords could even think to illegally raise rent during this pandemic while people are vulnerable. Guess what, where are the PPE for immunocompromised and old people now? Common sense was to stay home while sick & practice good personal hygiene.
K. aka letmeplaywithkittens 4 years ago
Moving forward, masks may become a necessity in our lives, but changing our policies and regulations will do far more to prevent the total breakdown of our systems. For one, learn and teach each other how to properly wash our hands, don and discard gloves and masks. Don't leave them in public.
xiaomiao 4 years ago
I have enough ire to focus in many directions. Landlords raised rent, well if, as you state, it was an illegal increase, ie in the middle of a lease, the tenants won't have to pay, it would be thrown out in any courtroom, in fact since evictions have been halted, the power is on the tenants side. Travelling in droves, yep, but it is hard to name/shame individuals. The mayor of New Orleans absolutely chose dollars over sense (get the pun?) in choosing to allow Mardis Gras. Government should be more ethical/moral than individuals. The government spreading misinformation is not a good precedent no matter the intention or outcome. They absolutely could have said, "hey, it's a s**t storm, we need to save medical masks for hospitals but everyone else explore other options, make your own". As we've seen, you can't trust people to stay home when sick or before they feel sick or have enough sense to wear masks properly, so tell people to protect themselves not that they don't need to.
