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.
