Bored Panda contacted Ariane Ling, a clinical instructor in the the Department of Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health, who told us about the toll the current crisis has on our emotional state. It turns out that harnessing a sense of humor during this time is one of the most effective strategies to cope with unpleasant feelings.
Ling explained that there are both short-term and long-term benefits of cracking a joke now and then amid the crisis. “It helps to manage and tolerate stress in the moment while also maintaining perspective and resilience moving forward.” Humor is one creative way of coping rather than avoiding and going into denial about things.
Understandably, many of us feel anxious and keeping that sense of humor up is one of the very few resources we have right now. “Patients have shared how things that would normally help with stress are no longer available, including meeting up with friends for brunch, playing sports with their local league, going to the gym, etc,” said Ling. As a result, some “of my patients have described [the situation] as surreal or floating without an anchor.”
According to Ling, psychological wellbeing can also go in a positive direction where it is possible to keep spirits high when faced with large-scale tragedy. She explained: “Despite physical distancing, it's evident that people have been taking advantage of technology to stay social and connected. I’ve learned from my patients that holding on to gratitude is also critical in bolstering resilience.” It all comes down to being thankful for small things and enjoying the moment.
The clinical instructor also told us that in their NYU Langone Health clinic, “we started a 'good vibes' email chain where we share uplifting stories and clever memes.” So next time you’re thinking of sharing that meme with your friends and relatives, just press send—it may be all they need now.
HAHAHA! I bet lots of cats feel the same way. My dog's are also starting to look a bit tired. Instead of sleeping all day as usual, they now have to follow my husband in case he's eating something or doing something interesting.
OMG I said exactly this to my wife last week while we were in the store!
Oh god, I have been so caught up with all this alone time that I haven't even though that there are introverts that live with other people.
I have been TRYING to sleep in now that I don’t have to get my son ready for school.
Anyone else actually want to try that. Put some water underneath and it’d be fun.
I choked on a sweet the other day whilst sitting in the back garden. We live next door to a garage and shop and I swear the people queuing to get groceries were freaking out about the ill person in the house next door 😬 And I just wanted to shout I’M NOT INFECTED JUST AN IDIOT DON’T WORRY.
Everyone calm down! I'm only choking to death.

I have had sinus problems my entire adult life, and sometimes they act up (especially when the seasons are changing like right now), and make me cough and sneeze a lot. Often it’s accompanied by a sinus headache. First, it always was embarrassing to have to cough and sneeze where people can see or hear you, but now it’s even more so. People look at you like you’re Typhoid Mary or something. Second, now it seems that anytime I cough, sneeze, develop a headache, or any of the other familiar symptoms I know are sinus-related, a part of me physically stops a moment and asks myself if it’s Corona. I hate that.
Same. My allergies have been especially bad this year. I try to wear a face mask when I go out, but it's hard to breathe through a face mask when you are already having trouble breathing. I'm worried that I may have the virus and not know it because I already feel like c**p.
Try walking into a Drs surgery with a chest infection that you're 99% sure is not Covid 19, & having to do so to get a Med Cert for work... I felt like a total leper, even though I was keeping 2 x extra large folded tissues over my mouth & nose & didn't use my hands to open the door
I have severe, chronic, year-round allergies. I work in a retail pharmacy. I am always blowing my nose, even with the two pills, and one nasal spray my doctor prescribes. It has been a little funny to watch people watch me, when I blow my nose, wipe my nose, or cough, from the nasal drainage.
I'm having seasonal allergies, so I've been coughing and sneezing this whole time. It really freaks people out!
I'm an asthmatic that still coughs daily despite 5 prescriptions; 4 of them inhalers. I'm just waiting to get the c**p kicked out of me for making a monthly grocery run.
I was getting over the flu when this started and was terrified to cough in public
Yeah, had to school a grown a*s adult in the grocery store that just because there's a pandemic doesn't mean people just automatically quit coughing and sneezing (while wearing a mask, mind you). Dumbass - it's allergy season or are you really that stupid?
Swallowed my water too fast, choked an the man on the other end of the phone line, advised me to taKe care of that cough.
And no one thought to give her the Heimlich maneuver, so in a way, she too , died of covid 19.
i had a cold drink and went shopping after then I coughed i was worried about what they were thinking
At least 3 times in 2 weeks we have had massive groups of people hanging out at the beach. Like seriously, these people are completely f****d in the head. What part of STAY THE F**K AT HOME do they not understand.
Thought the mask was his mouth for a moment, and man that was a creepy smile
All the crazies who were already all prepped for the zombie apocalypse are pointing and laughing at the rest of us right now. 'Bet you wish had a bunker now! Still think buying 10 cases of peanut butter was stupid? Got enough toilet paper? No? Well, isn't that a shame?'
How come I can still buy anything I want or need without someone saying they can't supply? Even the bare essentials every household needs is readily available, Wine whiskey, coffee, whipped cream, steaks.

If it ever does snow, people buy everything in the stores; like it's the apocalypse. The difference this time is that it hasn't calmed down in a lot of areas. Some people are out panic everything, every time they get paid; or every time a new virus report is released.
Lol, Still though, some have a thousand cases, wonder how long they think it will... Wait.. THEY are the zombies!
And they're still buying up all the TP and for some reason, bottled water.
If the utilities shut down, you won't have water coming out of the tap. On the other hand: if the utilities shut down, you can't flush the toilet.
Before Corona Virus I used to cough to cover a fart, now I fart to cover a cough. Taken from the Top Ten Coronavirus Jokes at https://www.keeplaughingforever.com/post/top-10-corona-virus-jokes
Uh, no. Trump did not cause Corona. Just like how Obama didn't cause Ebola.
Load More Replies...So... you are saying that we shouldn't blame presidents for viral outbreaks? Can we at least keep blaming them for natural disasters?
And watch this, someone's gonna call me racist for comparing something Trump did to what Obama did.
I didn't like most of them, not funny. I like my joke better: What would happen if coronavirus mutated into an STD? There would be a lot more "f*****g" cases!
That was terrible. Work on your material and get back to us when you have something good.
Think about this. The virus started in China. They lied and hid whats going on with it. They could have contained it. They let it spread hoping it would cripple the American economy and America will come crawling to them to borrow even more money to pay for all of the stimulus bills that'll be passed. Conspiracy? It's the perfect plan for world domination!
Oh, come now! America had idiots ruining its future LONG before the novel coronavirus ever mutated. If China had really wanted to f*ck us up, they would have done what Russia did in 2016. But, they got beaten to the punch.
Load More Replies...Chinese government is at fault, true, but the doctor who tried to warn the world about it was also Chinese. It's a conspiracy, not fact, that the virus was a weapon built on purpose. They might have "taken advantage" of the situation to infiltrate corrupted means to rule (which happened in some other countries as well), but it's harmful for them too.
