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.
Yes, Don, you will need to move your head to get that disc up in there.
I think she died, and then her family was all "OMG how did this happen?" And started a GoFundMe that raised about $35,000.
Load More Replies...I want to **try** to keep things factual. This is a picture of Audrey Whitlock. She did not die. She was asymptomatic, but self quarantined for 2 weeks. This is not Karen Kolb Sehlke, the woman who posted on Facebook that this was a hoax, died of coronavirus, and her family is cashing in on GoFundMe.
And she complained bitterly about having to self quarantine and how dumb it was
Load More Replies...And in a new turn in medicine, she's also the first person to be tested for Ignorance... and it's overwhelmingly positive! Back to you, Tom.
This isn't a joke--this really happened, along with that pastor who was protesting Covid and died of it after going to New Orleans.
What's a joke is these peoples' stupid, anti-science attitudes. There are consequences for not understanding science and not listening to scientists and doctors.
Load More Replies...Some people who are anti quarantine believe that we need to be on the honor system and only stay home if infected; while others believe we need to get to herd immunity. Just because they are anti quarantine doesn't mean they believe the virus is a hoax. Some people have a different belief on how to deal with the virus.
Load More Replies...ask Boris how you'll get sick now, and learn the "freedom" lesson...! I've been sick, also if I respected lockdown. thanks to God healed alone at home, no ICU... God bless all doctor, nurses and all hospital staff.
"I tested positive as in, I am negative, because it's a positive thing. So yes, I did test positive."
I don't wish anyone death but I sure hope this "fake" virus gets her good!!!
🦅🇺🇸🌵🇲🇽🍁🇨🇦☘️🇨🇮🦅🇺🇸 Well, she's on her way to a liberated death. Cheers.
I wish her a speedy recovery but not before she had some real symptoms first. Let's see how quickly she joined he protest brigade again.
And so that probably means she infected all of her fellow protesters.
No, I don't hope illness on anyone... We would not need lockdown orders if commong sense were common....it is not....
This has happened so many times. I don't want anyone to die with this, but hopefully these stories stop others being so foolish. Doubt it though, sadly.
You people are all disturbed in the head. Everyone went to OK boomer a few months ago to save the boomers because I can get social points for people thinking I am a good human but kill the b*tch that I see as a hypocrite. You all are messed up
I can't reply to that idiot Mr. Hump down there because he has so many downvotes, but please spare your(yes, that IS the right one) IQ because reading that comment will put yours at his, or in other words, room temperature.
Presently drowning in her own lung fluids but still gurgling protests.
It is really a sad state of affairs when people are glad someone else got really sick and died. Those of you who are wishing bad things on her or anyone else are the real animals who should get sick. No one should be treated like that even if they brought it on themselves.
Wanting her to suffer the consequences of her own selfish actions is a bad thing?
Load More Replies...Oh hey...and guess what? She didn't die...like the millions of others who tested positive.
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
Load More Replies...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 (:
Load More Replies..."Bad political memes by the salty left still pissed off that Hillary is not their President" ....there, I fixed the title of listicle for you.
Omg. No one mentioned Hillary. Its not 2016. Just coz u don't like her doesn't mean Trump is automatically a better choice. I'd rather let my cat run the usa
