There are now over 13.1 million confirmed cases of people infected with the coronavirus worldwide and the situation looks dire. However, people haven’t given up yet and are doing what humans do in hard times: they poke fun at the crisis to laugh and boost their spirits.
The Bored Panda team has collected some of the funniest and freshest jokes about the ‘Coronapocalypse’ floating on the net to show you that there’s plenty of humor around even in the darkest times. So scroll down and upvote your fave jokes, dear Pandas. When you’re done chuckling your way through this list, we’ve got plenty more coronavirus jokes for you to enjoy: check out our freshest lists here, here, and here.
Bored Panda reached out to Know Your Meme’s Senior Editor Matt Schimkowitz and spoke to him about the best coronavirus memes of 2020 and to what extent it’s all right to joke about serious topics. Read on for Matt’s insights!

Clear Message
The first thing that we wanted to know was which meme about 2020 stood out for Know Your Meme’s Senior Editor Matt personally as the most accurate and funniest so far.
“This is a tough question. The first one to come to mind is ‘Tested Positive for Missing the Homies,’ which is something that I think had very wide appeal during the coronavirus quarantine. I have to admit, I am also suffering from this affliction. What can I say? I miss my homies. I think about that meme a lot,” Matt told Bored Panda.
However, the topic of humor during a deadly pandemic can be touchy. On the one hand, humor and laughter always go hand in hand and help people keep their hope burning strong during times of crisis. On the other hand, the Covid-19 pandemic has affected a lot of people who might not think that the coronavirus is something to take lightly.

She Used Your Own Logic, But Against You
“I think I need to take this on a case-by-case basis,” Matt explained. “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 added that nearly anything can be funny but the context surrounding a joke makes all the difference. We were also interested to know if Matt thought there was any way that the different sides of the aisle could find common ground.

#9
I've Got You
“There's not any reconciling this point. People will always offend and others will always be offended. I think that most people should just be conscious about what they're meme-ing and what the subtext of the meme is. If people do take offense, try and understand why. It's possible to make jokes about sensitive topics, but you have to listen to your audience in order to get there.”

Men Who Wear Masks
Finally, we wanted to get Matt’s take about the second half of 2020 and whether he thought the global situation would improve. Unfortunately, he wasn’t too optimistic. “Sorry to say, it's not looking good. We're currently in the middle of a global pandemic that's killed more than 400,000 people, so I think for many people it's probably going to continue being pretty painful.”
He added: “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!”

Carry multiple masks. When you start having trouble breathing, caused by vapour in your breath building up in the weave of the mask, swap masks.

I find it funny that Americans will proudly fight and die for their country but tell them to wear a mask to protect their country and suddenly you are violating their rights.

I knew this would happen. The dread started the second that first case showed up in Washington state. I thought: as a whole, people in this country are idiots. They aren't going to behave themselves. They aren't going to listen to the experts and follow the rules. There is NO way we're going to be able to contain this.' So I grabbed a mask, some antacids for the worry ulcer and plenty of popcorn and sat back to watch the horror show. We live in a me! me! me! immediate gratification culture over here. Also the sheer size of our country coupled with the 50 different governors with 50 different plans business makes dealing with this crisis a straight up logistical nightmare. That's with having someone competent at the head of government. We have the opposite of competent right now, so the whole thing has just become one big dumpster fire. It's a great time to be an introvert hiding out on 40 acres with internet, Netflix and goats.

People keep saying, "well the numbers are inflated because hospitals get paid money for each death" Lets pretend that is true, ok so what is a safe number? 50% are fake? That still leaves 60,000 people dead. How many died during 9/11, 3000? So we are 20 9/11's deep but this is no big deal yet I still have to take my shoes off and get photographed naked to ride a plane?

Inspired by a meme I saw about all this, I sat down and wrote a short story where there's a zombie apocalypse and most of the victims die because they deliberately got bitten just to show it was no big deal, or because they decided to stand in the middle of the road waving protest signs rather than go indoors to avoid the zombies like some kinda left-wing pussy.

it's not a hoax our president is a very feeble minded clown that has one thing on his mind. RE-election he doesn't want to be that president that only served 1 term has the blood of these Americans on his hands he wasn't honest nor did he protect us from ourselves. He ignored sensitive info that could have helped I hope for no more deaths and hope we get a true fighter in charge to get our USA back to normal how can people vote and love a "man" that has made everything about himself and fights against US doctors telling us how to eliminate/slow this threat talks s**t to persons who ask questions we really need answers. He is a terrorist causing unnecessary deaths. I'd rather have schools closed rather than my kids coming home sick but knowing and get their older relatives and baby relatives ill shut up trump please bring us a real leader

Well, as of July 15th this didn't age well. Seems that all the hype about spiking numbers and tens of thousands of deaths in the US was all about greed.. huh.. who woulda thunk it?

One day I will realize that clicking on articles like these will only make me more disappointed in my country than make me laugh at hilarious jokes. Since covidiots get so much publicity, it makes me wonder whether they make up the majority or minority of America.

I still don't understand the uproar of getting mad at people who aren't wearing masks. Aren't you supposed to be safe if you're wearing one? If so, then why are you worried about someone who is not? Aren't they only harming themselves? Talk about hypocrisy.
